The project, which was funded under the Welsh Government’s community hub grant, requires the athletics hub to be available for both educational and recreational use by schools and the wider community.

The new hub cost £755,000 and will be the county borough’s first athletics track.

The hub will benefit from two storage units for equipment and a grassy area for school activities including sports days.

Use of the facility outside school hours will be limited to a curfew of 9pm to minimise noise nuisance to nearby homes, with floodlighting switched off by 9.15pm

Visits to the hub will be operated via a booking system.
