Two Westway centres to receive £3.7m upgrades

By Tom Walker    24 Oct 2016
The signing of the deal was marked by a visit from Everyone Active sporting ambassador and Olympic silver-medallist Colin Jackson.

Westway Trust – the charity which oversees the development and regeneration of land under the A40 flyover in North Kensington, London – has appointed leisure operator Everyone Active to manage the estate’s sports and fitness properties for the next 10 years.

The contract will see Everyone Active take charge of two leisure facilities – the Westway Sports & Fitness Centre and the Westway Fitness Club.

As part of the deal, a total of £3.7m will be invested in improving the two properties. Westway Trust will invest £2m, while Everyone Active has pledged a £1.7m towards the works.

While the exact details of the improvements are yet to be confirmed, the Westway Sports and Fitness will get new changing rooms, an expanded fitness space with new equipment and a larger bouldering area for its climbing centre.

Existing facilities at the Westway Sports & Fitness Centre include outdoor football pitches and tennis courts.

In total, around £3m will be spent on upgrading the buildings and £0.7m spent on new equipment.

The works are expected to be completed by September 2017.

Angela McConville, Westway Trust’s CEO said: If we want to continue to inspire more people to live well and be physically active, we need to continually invest in state-of-the-art facilities, equipment and technology and find new and innovative ways to appeal to people.

“The Everyone Active team has demonstrated they share our goals and aspirations and that they have the experience, expertise and ideas to help us realise them. I look forward to working with Everyone Active to inspire many more people to take part in sport and physical activity over the coming years ahead.”

David Bibby, Everyone Active managing director, added: ““Our aim is to enhance the facilities and equipment, to be creative and responsive when encouraging and retaining people in sport and physical activity and manage the enterprise to the highest possible standard.”

The official signing of the agreement was marked by a visit from Everyone Active sporting ambassador and Olympic Silver-medallist Colin Jackson.
