"Islington Borough Council’s investment in Market Road has resulted in a fantastic boost in the community’s morale and a positive attitude to sport."

LK2 director Andrew Kitchen said: "Islington Borough Council’s investment in Market Road has resulted in a fantastic boost in the community’s morale and a positive attitude to sport.

"We are really proud of the final outcome of the Market Road project, not only is the building a high-spec facility, but the scheme has also enabled so many local teams to continue and that’s the grassroots of football and where the next generation of footballers come from so we are delighted.

"We were able to ensure that the building was both energy-efficient and robust, which was an important aspect of the project and the client’s brief."

It is in-line with the council’s initiative to encourage engagement of the local people for the sport. The council intends to increase the number of teams using the site from 127 to more than 200.
