Chorley have reached a lease agreement with Chorley Borough Council to stay at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium.
The lease, which will enable the club to apply for funding for stadium redevelopments and improvements, will run for a period of 15 years at a peppercorn rent.
Co-owners, chairman Ken Wright and secretary Graham Watkinson put pen-to-paper on the lease before the game with Spennymoor Town last Tuesday.
Wright told the club’s website: “Clearly, this is very positive news. Gaining a lease was essential for us to be able to move forward with the next stages of our development. We’d like to thank Chorley Borough Council for their co-operation and support in getting us to this point and granting us this lease.”
Mark Lester, director at Chorley Council, added: “The football club is an important part of our community and we’re delighted that we’ve been able to work together to provide a fitting arrangement that works in the best interests of everyone.
“With the end of the season approaching, we’re particularly happy that we’ve been able to come to this agreement and it demonstrates our commitment to support the club in its plan for the future.”
