St Edmundsbury Borough Council (SEBC) is to invite local residents to comment on proposals for a community football scheme in Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk.

The project will see Bury Town Football Club relocate to a new home ground at Moreton Hall in 2012 as part of the project, which are being led by the club, the council and county football association. New community facilities offering coaching and development for local young teams will be provided under the plans, with SEBC committing up to £1m towards the scheme in 2008.

The Football Foundation is to provide the remaining funding, subject to the approval of planning permission and the creation of a "strong" business case. SEBC cabinet member for culture and sport Lynsey Alexander said: "This follows on the success of the Haverhill community football project and the partnership has the same ambition for Bury."
