Councillor Thomas Ashby, for Witney West and Ducklington, said: “This marks the most significant upgrade to the facility in over a generation, set to benefit thousands of people across Witney and the surrounding communities.

“Designed for everyone: from local residents to sports enthusiasts, this project is a major win for both the town and grassroots sport.

“Looking ahead, the town council can now focus on planning the new 3G pitch, which will ensure activities can continue year-round, even through the autumn and winter.

“A sincere thank you goes out to the community and the town council staff whose hard work brought this project to fruition.”

West Witney is home to football teams, cricket, tennis, park run, air rifle shooting and bowls.
