A PARISH council boss has welcomed a £9,500 lottery grant to carry out improvements around a community facility.

The Awards for All Big Lottery cash will pay for landscaping and work on the car park at Steeton Hub.

Cllr David Mullen (pictured), chairman of Steeton-with-Eastburn Parish Council, said: “I’m absolutely delighted.

“The car park needs to be levelled and surfaced and planting will be carried out around the building.

“Currently, the car park is inadequate.”
