Creasey Park is home to two local football clubs Dunstable Town FC and AFC Dunstable. Dunstable Town FC. Our main objective is to have a high-quality playing surface that fully meets the needs of our operator, Dunstable Town Council, and all existing customers/users and stakeholders, and to attract more customers/users to our facility. Also, that the surface and associated installation meets all the required standards (as detailed in the specification and tender documentation); is robust and hard-wearing; easy to maintain; fit for high usage and longevity; limits/mitigates the revenue impact/operational costs as much as possible; and also mitigates the overall environmental/health impact (e.g. rubber crumb) on the surrounding area (e.g. Greenbelt) and to all users and staff. We realise that due to the impact of Covid-19, including the enforced social distancing restrictions and lockdown, these could negatively impact on the timescales listed, as it will depended on the availability of the workforce; and the required materials via the supply chain being readily available in the required quantities; and Government advice and any restrictions in place.
