STOURPORT town councillors voted unanimously tonight in favour of recommending for approval an application to rebuild Stourport Sports Club.

The council heard that the Wyre Forest District Council planning officer involved had recommended approval of the application although the comments of the county highway authority had yet to be made.

The clubhouse of the sports club was destroyed in a devastating arson attack last year.

Conservative town councillor, David Little, said: "It is nice to see a ressurection taking place so quickly from the ashes of the clubhouse."
