A new sports pavilion could be on its way for Portesham recreation ground.

Chesil Bank Parish Council's put in a planning application to Dorset Council.

They want to replace the existing building at Elworth, with a new, and relocated, facility, including a kitchen and changing rooms.

If it's approved, if would be moved closer to the road, with some tennis courts also being refurbished to become a multi-use games area.

The design of the new pavilion is based on a facility at Little Bredy, which serves the same purpose.

We can comment on the plans until January 3rd, through the Dorset Council website.
