The 400m track in Mountfield Road will be completely re-laid with a high-tech synthetic surface thanks to contributions from a range of schools, councils and clubs.

The scheme itself raised £158,000, while a £40,500 grant was also secured from England Athletics, in recognition of its contribution in helping to encourage more people to get involved in sport for life.

Councilor David Elkin said, “I would like to thank all those involved with this excellent project. The results of their efforts are brilliant, will make a real difference to local athletes for many years to come and encourage more people to get involved in sport.”
