WORK has started on a new multi-purpose track at Millom School’s playing fields.
One kilometre in length and two-and-a-half metres wide, the track will be suitable for runners and cyclists in the town.
Millom Community Track are behind the project and say that the new track will make a big difference to the town.
Karen Hughes, chair of the charity, said: “It feels brilliant. We’re all volunteers behind this project, we have all got our own jobs to do, but we have made so much progress. What was maybe seen as a silly idea at first is now coming together. To see the diggers there working on the fields just feels amazing. It will offer a place for people who want to start running, whether it’s to get fitter and lose a bit of weight or just get healthier.”
