Attachments:
We would hope to have the facility available to use within the next couple of years.
Please note: the attached drawings give a good overview of what is planned and the scale of the
development but the final building design, particularly underneath the stand and staircase access
to the seating, is still being discussed.
• Proposed site layout plan
• Sketch perspective
• Stand interpretation
The proposal is to locate the stand on the grass bank adjacent to the finishing straight (please see
drawings below)
The Track was upgraded in 2012 to provide a first class outdoor athletic facility that has enabled
the town and club to host higher level meetings, like the British Athletic League and county
competitions. However the trackside facilities are lacking compared with other locations that
host meetings at this level. There is no covered space for athletes or spectators and although the
raised grass banks provide a good viewing point, these are not usable during wet weather. There
needs to be somewhere dry to view the sport and keep athletes warm.
The club would like to build a covered spectator stand with space underneath that the club and
visitors could use for committee and training meetings, along with an indoor athlete training area
and associated facilities like toilets and a kitchen to provide a better spectator experience.
Building of a 199 covered seat spectator stand with space underneath for facilities and indoor
training.
