A new community sports facility is set to be built in Woodston, Peterborough, after the city council agreed to invest the remaining £800,000 required to fund the project.

The remainder of the funding for the 500sq m (5,382sq ft) pavilion, which has been designed by Capita Architecture, is being contributed by Barratt Homes, as part of its plans for a new housing development nearby. Facilities at the pavilion will include four sports changing rooms, officials' changing rooms, a community hall area, a kitchen and bar area, and an outdoor pre-school play area. Two full-size football pitches are also among the plans, as well as an artificial sports area big enough to accommodate three tennis courts.

It is expected that the pavilion will be completed and ready to use by July 2009, and will provide a sustainable community facility that meets Sport England specifications.
