New lease of life for Kettering community facility after flood damage

A Kettering bowls pavilion has been given a new lease of life after a five-figure investment to refurbish and improve it.

Ise Bowling Club’s old hall, off Grantown Close, suffered severe damage and became unusable after major flooding on Christmas Eve, 2020.

The club later contacted their local councillors for support. And funding of £30,250 has been secured for the Ise Valley Pavilion, which also hosts community events, birthday parties and more.

The upgrade includes a new kitchen, changing rooms and toilets. Further improvements are earmarked for the rest of the hall and building.

Cllr Elliot Prentice (Con, Ise) said: “We are proud to have secured this funding and are really pleased to see the ongoing delivery of this project.

“The refurbishment has given a new lease of life to this vital community facility for the benefit of local residents and bowls club.”
