Linford Christie Stadium running track resurfacing scheme
Councils are currently discussing funding and prioritising elements for the Linford Christie Stadium running track resurfacing scheme.
In March 2026, the Wormwood Scrubs Charitable Trust Committee approved a £20,000 funding increase for the Linford Christie Stadium running track resurfacing scheme, which aims to upgrade the athletics track. This decision followed a refinement of the phase three programme, prioritising essential elements such as the 400m track, floodlighting, and base repairs as part of a revised scheme to address an initial budget.
The committee had previously granted its Chair authority to proceed with the resurfacing project in September 2025, after visual inspections revealed undulations across the facility. A site survey by Labosport was scheduled for October 2025 to assess the damage, with officers aiming to finalise payment in Autumn 2025. Works were expected to commence in Spring 2026 and last approximately 8-10 weeks.
