Velodrome Fencing for Palmer Park Track

CLD Fencing Systems have supplied half of a Kilometre of Bespoke Velodrome Fencing for Palmer Park Track; Reading.

A joint funded scheme by British Cycling and Reading Borough Council has seen over £350,000 invested into the Palmer Park Sports Stadium, including new velodrome fencing, lighting and improvement to the cycle track. The new cycle track was opened to the public on March 11th 2017 by the Mayor of Reading, Mohammed Ayub and representatives from British Cycling.

Paul Gittings, Readings’ Lead Councillor for Sport said:

“I am delighted the improvements to Palmer Park Sports Stadium, including the fantastic new Velodrome track fencing, are now complete. We want to encourage our residents to be as active as possible and the provision of good quality, readily accessible sports facilities; such as Palmer Park, underpins this ambition.”

The original Velodrome track fencing, which can be seen in the photograph to the right, featured a raft of boards with concrete posts which needed to be renewed. British Cycling were able to both help specify and fund the replacement cost of the fencing for the project.
