New 'adiZone' set for Canvey Island
Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC) has announced that it has secured funding for the development of a new outdoor multi-sports facility in Canvey Island, Essex.
The adiZone venue, which will be in the shape of the London 2012 Olympic logo, will feature basketball and football facilities, a tennis wall and an outdoor gym, as well as areas for dance, aerobics, martial arts and other activities. CPBC has already received £75,000 from the adiZone Rollout Trust and £54,000 from the Veolia ES Cleanaway Pitsea Marshes Trust. The remaining £21,000 will come from savings identified within the council's budget.
A site is yet to be confirmed for the facility, but together with a proposed mountain bike arena in Hadleigh, it is hoped that it will contribute towards a lasting legacy for the area from the 2012 Games. CPBC leader Pam Challis said: "We have secured funding for this fantastic new facility, which will give lasting health benefits for local people as well as an Olympic legacy."
