Sutton Council has given the go-ahead for the installation of padel courts at the London Cancer Hub in Sutton, south London.
The four-court facility, which forms a part of Aviva Capital Partners and Socius’ wider £1bn masterplan, will be delivered by Social Sports Society. The courts will transform a currently unused site within the cancer hub grounds.
Construction is set to begin later this month, with completion expected in July. After that, the courts will remain in place for up to seven years as a temporary feature, with a flexible design that allows for relocation or adaptation in line with the evolving development of the hub.
Tom Rooney, chief executive of Social Sports Society, said: “With demand for padel growing rapidly, this project will help to deliver benefits for the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors alike, bringing the community together in an inclusive space for all ages and abilities to enjoy.”
Sophie White, sector head for regeneration at Aviva Capital Partners, said: “We’re focused on investing to grow the economy, drive regeneration and support the creation of jobs and homes across the UK; objectives which align closely with our investment in Sutton. The new padel facility is an early example of how the London Cancer Hub will deliver lasting benefits to the local community.”
