SPORTS clubs due to play on Rochford District Council pitches this weekend are being asked to confirm their bookings.
The council contracted Fountains to carry out grounds maintenance but following the company’s entry into administration earlier this week, they will not be doing this work.
Council chiefs have been attempting to ensure there is minimal disruption and are working to ensure that all sporting fixtures go ahead on Saturday and Sunday.
And the council has asked for all clubs due to play on council pitches this weekend to contact the customer services team on 01702 318111 or email them at customerservices@rochford.gov.uk.
Fifty-two jobs in Rochford were lost when Oxfordshire-based Fountains went into administration on Monday.
