One of the biggest sporting projects to be developed in Sheffield in more than ten years is set to place the city at the heart of the government’s Olympic legacy programme.
Plans are being submitted by Sheffield City Trust (SCT) for a £14million extension and development project incorporating the new National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) at Graves Tennis and Leisure Centre.
The project forms part of the city’s wider £24m investment in new sports facilities which will see under-utilised, ageing or high cost venues replaced with new facilities that are better quality, will increase participation and will cost less to operate.
