Improvement works have commenced on the main car park at Malvern Town Football Club.
The works, which started on 9 July for 12 weeks, will involve the resurfacing and reconfiguration of the club’s main car park, along with the installation of an overflow car park.
The project’s aim is to improve the accessibility, safety and visual appearance of the club, as well as reducing the amount of on-street parking around the local community during match days.
Improvements include:
Main car park – will provide spaces for 51 vehicles, with four accessible bays and bike storage, improved pedestrian walkways, drainage, fencing, a wider entrance.
Overflow car park, located behind the south-side goal end – will provide spaces for an additional 33 vehicles.
Malvern Hills District Council has invested over £425k for the upcoming project, which forms part of the Community Infrastructure Investment Plan that was adopted by the council in March 2025.
The Plan will see over £3m invested into the council’s own assets, including the Hill Community Centre, Sport Martley and new community open space adopted by the council in Leigh Sinton.
A further £1m will be invested into community owned assets through the Community Legacy Grant Scheme.
Cllr Jennie Watkins, Portfolio Holder for Communities and Housing at MHDC, said: “This is a great project which will really benefit the club, its visitors and the local community. It’s important that we continue to invest in community hubs to help support and improve the health and wellbeing of local residents.”
Chris Pinder, Chairman at Malvern Town FC, said: “We’re hugely grateful to MHDC for backing our grand vision for the club. This transformational project will benefit everyone who uses the stadium and further strengthen the club’s role at the heart of the community. We can’t wait to cut the ribbon on the new arrival experience in just 12 weeks’ time.”
