As part of the scheme, new water saving cisterns and taps have been installed, to complement a renovated roof, new flooring and programme of re-decoration.
A scheme to improve the accessibility features on the track has also been undertaken with new, larger accessible viewing areas, refurbished accessible toilets, hearing loops and accessible counters all part of the program.
In addition, the lift in the Dalby Stand has also been completely overhauled to provide a modern and safe conveyance for all guests.
