Local Liberal Democrat leader Cllr Chris Millington has welcomed the news that Harlow's new Gateway Sports and Leisure Centre - currently being built next to Harlow College - has been selected for inclusion in the London 2012 Pre-games training camp guide.

The new centre will be listed as one of the venues in the East of England region that can be used for badminton, basketball, fencing, trampolining, judo and indoor volleyball. Chris says:

"This is absolutely excellent news, and a recognition of the status of this prestigious new public leisure development here in Harlow."
