By Matthew Pells

The head of Scarborough College says he wants the new track to benefit the whole town.

The new six lane running track about to be opened in Scarborough will be an asset for the whole town.

That's the hope of Scarborough College Headteacher Guy Emmet.

The College will be managing the new facility which has been built on the old Bramcote school playing field.

Guy says he's looking forward to seeing the wider community using the track.

The college say the track, which is nearing completion, will be available to other schools and sports clubs.

Guy says the track is nearing completion and is looking good.

The development consists of a 400m, 6 lane athletics running track of an elliptical shape with straight sections on the longer sides parallel to Holbeck Hill and Filey Road.The latter includes an 8 lane finishing straight, also suitable for 100m races.

Guy has high hopes for the facility and believes it could help inspire and produce world class athletes.

The track will have floodlights and will be available for use by local sports clubs in the evening.
