A TEST Valley bowling club is celebrating a new floor after a grant from the borough council.

Sherfield English Bowls Club has thanked Test Valley Borough Council after its £400 community grant from Blackwater ward members.

The renovation has helped to improve the overall appearance of the clubhouse. With more than 70 members, the club's committee wanted to provide a more updated entrance.

Blackwater ward members Nick Adams-King and Gordon Bailey said the new floor "looked very professional".

The Councillor Community Grant scheme helps to fund community-led initiatives.

Local councillors can allocate funds to projects that they identify as meeting a need in the community based on feedback from residents.
