ATHLETICS facilities in the most south-westerly county of England have been in danger of closing down, but one of Cornwall’s two synthetic surfaces enjoyed good news this month that should ensure its survival.
The future has been unclear for Par track near St Austell – the main base for Newquay & Par AC – but an agreement has been made for it to pass into the hands of the community.
Local councilor Doug Scrafton has been working with the ‘Par Sports and Leisure Park’ group and said: “I am immensely proud to be associated with them.
