A new £1m community sports facility has been unveiled in Peterborough, which forms part of a section 106 agreement between the local authority and developer Barratt Homes.

The project has comprised the creation of a pavilion, two natural football pitches - one adult and one junior, a floodlit four-court multi-use games area and a car park. Kier Eastern and Agripower Contractors have delivered the new facilities, which have been developed on a 2.7-hectare (6.7-acre) site at the former British Sugar estate as part of a wider housing scheme.

Matthew Lee, Peterborough City Council cabinet member for community services, said: "It's a boost for the area and I'm really pleased. It's been four years in the making and is now the third community centre in the ward."
