Local newspapers have reported on proposals to regenerate the Cheriton
Road sports ground in conjunction with local sports clubs. The
multimillion pound redevelopment will see the provision of a new
pavilion to replace the present life-expired building housing bars and
changing rooms, and that will accommodate a brand new sports hall
providing facilities for all-year round training.
The Trust
has funded work by CTM Architects to develop these proposals which are
being put foward for planning permission in conjunction with an
application to develop the former Westbrook House School site on
Shorncliffe Road. Proceeds raised from the sale of this site for
housing will be channelled into the development of the Cheriton Road
venue. Local residents have welcomed the proposals for Cheriton Road
and have been reassured about the improvements that the development
will bring in terms of floodlighting and noise.
