New sports pavilion planned at Potters Bar school
PLANS to build a sports pavilion at a school in Potter Bar have been submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council.
The structure, which would cost between �150,000 and �200,000, is needed to replace the cricket pavilion destroyed by arsonists at Dame Alice Owen’s School in February.
The outbuilding would be constructed from brick, while the former pavilion was a timber frame structure.
Ian Breeze, the director of sport at the Dugdale Hill Lane school, said: “In the summer it will be used for cricket and in the winter it can be used for football and rugby.
“It will have a small tea room for refreshments, a disabled toilet and two changing areas which will take 15 players each.”

The plans are currently open to public consultation.
