Shifnal Girls Football Club, the largest girls-only football club in Shropshire, is striving for a future where young women can thrive both on and off the field. Our vision extends beyond just football. It's about creating an enduring community asset that fosters physical health, mental wellbeing, and opens positive pathways for the youth of Shropshire. Here's where our community's voice matters.

We're making strides towards an ambitious project: establishing a home ground and a modern football sports facility. This would not only accommodate our current members but also inspire and invite new generations of young female athletes from across the region. Such a facility promises to be a beacon of empowerment and growth, fostering a cultural and social uplift for the girls who play, and the families who support them.

Integral to this development is the proposed construction of 20-25 houses in Bishops Wood by Bradford Estates Ltd. This housing project is envisioned in a manner that's considerate and proportionate to the environment, addressing local housing needs and blending harmoniously with the community. By supporting this initiative, we ensure that the sports facility is financially viable and sustainable for the long term.

The combined development of a sports facility and housing ensures a multi-faceted growth for the community, promising both recreational and residential enrichment. It offers the dual advantage of boosting local economy and initiating neighborhood-friendly development, critical in today’s times.

We acknowledge the significance of such developments in transforming small pockets of society. The integration of a sports facility and housing development isn't only about economic benefit but about strategising for a healthier future for our young girls. It’s a chance to establish roots and nurture talent in their own backyard.

We propose to achieve this by liaising with local authorities and stakeholders to facilitate a seamless execution of the project. Our commitment is to maintain transparency and inclusiveness in the process, ensuring that the community's voice is paramount.

We need your support. By signing this petition today, you help pave the way for a vibrant community space that’s set to benefit generations of girls and their families. Join us in shaping a legacy of pride, health, and community for Shifnal and its people. Please, sign the petition and stand with us in realising this promise for future generations. Together, we can make this vision a reality.
