A new leisure centre; pub- lic spaces; and around 300 homes are being proposed as part of a £50m regeneration of the historic Walthamstow Stadium site in east London. London and Quadrant

Two public exhi- bitions have been held by L&Q, which saw members of the public submit a range of potential uses for the pro- posed leisure centre and public spaces.

Te Football League has announced a new three-year television broadcasting agreement with Sky Sports worth £195m – a decrease of 26 per cent on the current deal. Under the terms of the new deal to start in

from seeing such a significant ongoing invest- ment in their competitions, despite a reduced level of broadcasting income.”
