Phase 2 is completed! A celebration was held on 6 June to mark this milestone that included track lighting, a 250-metre track for juniors and less able cyclists; and a multi-use games area within the main track.
The celebration was also used to launch fundraising for Phase 3. This will seek to replace the derelict grandstand and other buildings. The Herne Hill Velodrome (HHV) Trust has one year remaining to raise the £3 million to pay for this work. Without the pavilion, including changing facilities, café, gym, etc., it will not be possible to generate the necessary income to run the site. The Velodrome is not yet secure and donations, large and small, are required.
Thanks to tremendous support from our MP, councillors, cycling organisations, local and national businesses, the Trust is optimistic that the fund-raising target will be achieved. For information on how to donate, see the Trust’s website at www.hhvt.org.
