Concerns are mounting over the deteriorating condition of the athletics track at Cheltenham’s Prince of Wales stadium, with local athletes reportedly suffering injuries linked to its poor state. Cheltenham and County Harriers, a prominent athletics club in the town, is urging the council to invest in urgent repairs to bring the facility back up to standard.
In 2022, the track at Tommy Taylors Lane failed England Athletics’ trackmark accreditation, rendering it unsuitable for licensed competitions.
