Linford Christie outdoor centre gets £1.3m upgrade

The Linford Christie Outdoor Sports Centre in Wormwood Scrubs, London, has undergone a £1.3m redevelopment project.

The project has resulted in two new seven-a-side pitches, three courts for tennis or netball and improved floodlighting at the site. Hammersmith & Fulham Council, which owns the facility, worked with Wormwood Scrubs Charitable Trust and Kensington Dragons FC on funding the works.

Alex Sanderson, Deputy Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham Council, said: “This is a brilliant upgrade for the Scrubs and for everyone who uses it.
