Looking Ahead to 2026
Durrington Town Council wishes all residents a happy and healthy New Year.
2025 was a productive year, with improvements made across village facilities, including upgrades to the Village Hall and Pavilion, new benches on the Recreation Ground, operational speed indicator devices, and enhanced safety measures. A temporary pump track installed over the summer proved extremely popular, leading the Council to plan a permanent replacement for the ageing skate park.
Plans for 2026
Key projects planned for the year ahead include:
Installation of a permanent pump track
Refurbishment of Pavilion toilets
Full redecoration of the Village Hall
New sound system for the Hall
Improved lighting along the Recreation Ground path
New flooring for the Robinson Room
River Park path refurbishment
The new pump track is expected to cost around £150,000 and will be funded through a mix of Council reserves, grants, and a £100,000 Public Works Loan, repayable over eight years. The Council does not propose to increase the precept to fund this project.
Approval to proceed with the loan will be considered at the Council meeting on Tuesday 6 January at 7.00 pm in the Robinson Room, Durrington Village Hall. The meeting is open to the public.
The Annual Parish Meeting will be held on 31 March in the Village Hall. Residents are warmly encouraged to attend. Read More...
