Herne Hill velodrome's brand new junior track, trackside lighting and multi-use games area will be officially unveiled this afternoon by local MP Dame Tessa Jowell. 

Work on the new facilities, part of a long term project to upgrade the 1948 London Olympics venue, has been taking place this spring as part of the Southwark Olympic Legacy Project to extend use of the track, in particular for young people.
