A memorial wall to include the ashes of Northampton Saints rugby fans has been given the green light.
The Saints Memorial Wall will become part of a wider development to enhance the fan village at the Prem Rugby side’s Franklin’s Gardens ground.
West Northamptonshire Council approved the plans, which will see the demolition of the Saints Foundation Building, relocation of the groundskeeper’s compound, a new memorial park, and an outdoor area for food and drink, complete with TV screen.
Saints chief executive Julia Chapman said it would enable supporters to have “a place where their connection with this club can endure”.
