Grigg links the Thamesford co-build to recreation, childcare spaces and a new school. Her campaign account is separate from the current delivery and funding record.

Source passage: Experience Matters co-build paragraph

Context and limits

Delivery and funding remain separate evidence. Related school/childcare facts are already covered at /zorra/issues/zorra-thamesford-school-delivery; this is a candidate-record qualification/cross-link gap, not a site-wide absence or an answer to its current delivery question.

Earlier statement

Historical statement · 2025-04-11

Historical: supported delaying the courts tender to 2026 to coordinate the preferred Kingwood site with development infrastructure and long-term use.

Source passage: April 2, 2025 multi-use courts discussion

Context and limits

This is Grigg's April 2025 rationale. The 2025 report does not establish present project status or her proposed budget. The site separately tracks a September 2026 construction update; this historical statement does not answer the current opening-date question.
