HARLOW Gateway Project is regenerating the town’s leisure facilities by unlocking land for much needed housing and sports development.

The process of releasing land on the sites of the current sportcentre and swimming pool generated £11m in government funding to support the scheme in the creation of nearly 600 new homes, a new football stadium, athletics track and world class community leisure centre along with regeneration of playing pitches around the town.

The Harlow Gateway Partnership consists of Harlow District Council, Harlow and District Sports Trust, The Homes and Communities Agency, and (DCLG) - the Department for Communities and Local Government. The East of England Development Agency (EEDA), Harlow Town Football Club, Harlow College, Mark Hall Community School, and Science Alive are also supporting the initiative.

In addition to the £11m government contribution the £50m Gateway Project is funded by the partners and existing property assets, including the sale of Harlow Sportcentre and the former swimming pool, for housing.
