Witney Town Council has ended its contract with building company Skyline on the £1 million refurbishment of West Witney sports and social clubhouse. The project began in early 2024 and has faced repeated delays, with completion originally expected in May. Building works are still ongoing.

The council acknowledged the setback in a statement, saying: 'We know that people will be disappointed and frustrated that the refurbishment is taking considerably longer than originally anticipated.' The council recognised the impact the delays have had on those who use the clubhouse.

Witney Town Council said it is reviewing the work that has been finished and what remains to be done to determine the best way forward. The council described West Witney Clubhouse as 'a much-valued community facility, both as a social venue and for its changing rooms' and said it remains committed to completing the refurbishment, though it could not comment on some details because of the contractual position.
