A PIONEERING project to build sports facilities for one of the UK’s first ‘green’ towns is being developed by a leading regional construction company.

Mildren Construction is developing the site, supported with equipment from plant hire specialist Selwood. The development of Bordon and Oakhanger Sports Club Pavilion will be one of the key facilities in the new Whitehill and Bordon development.

The £1bn multi-partner regeneration project will see 3,350 homes and a range of facilities built on the former Prince Philip Barracks over the next 15 years.

The site, transforming the garrison town into a ‘green’ town, will be one of four such towns in the UK with an emphasis on sustainability. The replacement building will provide a larger sports pavilion, improved tennis courts, boules courts and a bowling green, alongside re-seeded sports pitches as well as a series of community spaces for functions of varying sizes.
