This website has been created to provide information
regarding the proposed Paddock Wood Athletic
Training Track at Putlands Sport & Leisure Centre.
The Paddock Wood Athletic Training Track has the
backing of local and county councils plus various local
and national sporting bodies. It is a facility that will be
open to everyone in the community, it will be a
valuable asset to the town and it will further enhance
the already extensive sporting facilities at The
Putlands Sport & Leisure Centre in Mascalls Court
Road Paddock Wood.
The proposed 2/4/6 lane track at Putlands Sport &
Leisure Centre was granted full Planning Permission
by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council on the 21st July
2005.
A 2/4/6 training track has two lanes for the first 200
metres then 4 lanes for the next 100 metres and six
lanes for the last 100 metres. This will enable all
runners to train at any distance on the track.
In August 2010 Tunbridge Wells Borough Council
granted permission for the proposal to extend the time
for the planning application for the all weather running
track with associated perimeter fencing and lighting
adjacent to Putlands Leisure Centre.
Full funding for the build of the track has now been
achieved and construction can commence as soon as
the lease details have been finalised.
The project has won 2nd place and £1,000 towards
the cost of the build in the Community category in the
Courier's 2011 Heart of the Community Awards
It is hoped to commence the build in the 1st half of
2012 so that it will be completed to coincide with The
2012 London Olympics.
