Thursley Road Recreation Ground borehole and irrigation system
Your Fund Surrey have granted £16,740 towards an automatic irrigation system for the recreation ground. The borehole project has been designed to deal with the issues of poor moisture retaining capacity and costly use of water mains supply to keep the pitches in good working order. It has been initiated jointly by Elstead Parish Council and by the Elstead Recreational Trust who have both made financial contributions. It has also been supported financially by the Elstead Cricket Club, Elstead Football Club, Elstead Sharks, Elstead Sports Bar, the Billmeir Trust, Burns and Webber Estate Agents, together with a further £5,000 raised from individual local contributions.
