Throughout the year Burnley Cricket Club play’s host to Cricket and Football fans alike. With two inside bars and an outside bar. A lot of these fans enjoy using our balcony to get a good vantage point.
In the past the top bar has been dark because of boards blocking the light, and the temperature hot or cold depending on the outside weather and the state of the old window frames. With no small windows to open during hot weather the top bar could get extremely hot.
During this winter / spring time we are having some much needed renovations done and phase 1 of the project is now complete. New double glazed windows on the top bar fitted by Perfectly Glazed and new cladding to help heat retention, plus new double doors and opening windows to assist with ventilation in warmer weather (I know we don’t get much but here’s hoping)
Funding towards all the work being done has been has been provided by ‘The Lancashire Environmental Fund’, and we at Burnley Cricket Club are very thankful for this. It will benefit our local customers, Cricket fans from all over the league and football fans from near and far a like.
The fund is a partnership between SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Limited, Lancashire County Council, The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and Community Futures.
The next phase of the project will see improvements to the main entrance of the building. This is the first thing new customers see and a much needed area for renovation. This work will be beginning shortly.
