£475,000 King George V playing field funding decision disappears from council meeting agenda

Leigh Curtis

An Exeter City Council executive committee decision “relating to financial ask of c.£475,000” for an Exeter City Community Trust scheme at King George V playing field, which was expected at its 17 March meeting, has not appeared on the meeting agenda.

Work began recently on the scheme to install a full-size artificial football pitch with floodlighting, refurbish and extend a sports pavilion and expand the car park at the Countess Wear playing field.

The otherwise unexplained “financial ask” has not been rescheduled for a future council meeting.
