A 3G football pitch is to be installed at East Riding Leisure Haltemprice

The project will cost more than £2m, but East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it had been awarded £360,000 towards the installation.

Three football clubs have partnered with the council and will be the primary users of the new facility.

A council spokesperson said the pitch would improve the quality of local sport and promote physical activity and overall wellbeing.

The authority said a Local Football Facilities Plan had identified a lack of 3G football turf pitches in the Haltemprice area, and that there was a high demand from local clubs.
