Contractors start on Old Trafford overhaul
Contractors have started work on a major redevelopment of Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester, after the scheme was given the green light by the Court of Appeal in July.
Derwent Holdings had attempted to stall Lancashire County Cricket Club's (LCCC) bid to redevelop the venue, but was ultimately unsuccessful in its legal challenge against the plans. LCCC is working in partnership with Ask Developments and Tesco on the scheme, which will see £32m invested in new pitches; player and media facilities; and two grandstands.
An extended indoor cricket school and a refurbished pavilion are also planned as part of the redevelopment, which aims to help the ground regain international Test match cricket. LCCC chief executive Jim Cumbes said: "It's with great joy and some relief that we get started on the major work to demolish the old stands and build the world-class ground we have been striving for.
"The aim of this project was to bring back the Ashes to Old Trafford in 2013. Now we can start improving our chances of turning that dream into reality."
