Community sport in Crewe gets welcome investment

Community sport in Crewe and across Cheshire East is getting a welcome investment, with the Cumberland Arena athletics track set to undergo a major upgrade.

For decades, the facilities at Cumberland Arena have been a focal point for sport in Crewe, supporting generations of runners, jumpers and throwers, from their first experience of athletics through to county and national competition. 

The venue, operated by Everybody Health & Leisure in partnership with Cheshire East Council, is used by schools, community groups and clubs from across South Cheshire and plays a key role in promoting health, wellbeing and opportunity. 

Now, with an almost £500,000 investment agreed, the arena's athletics track is set to be restored
