Resurfacing works to the 3G pitch are due to start this month, with works expected to be completed by September.
During these works, a section of the athletics track will be temporarily unavailable. However, the track will remain open and accessible throughout the project. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Updates will be provided as the project progresses, and users will be notified once full access to the track has been restored.
