The 1,799 sqm site cleared the Reading Borough Council's planning committee in June.

Its meant the loss of 47 parking spaces, leaving 264 spaces left at the retail site. 

But in order for it to go ahead, JD had to sign a Section 106 legal agreement laying out financial contributions it will make to the council.

This includes a £8,455 contribution to education, skills and training in the borough.

Over the last financial year, JD Gyms expanded its portfolio of sites from 79 to 85, and boosted its membership to around 536,000 - an increase from 453,000. 

Owner company JD Sports has launched its Christmas advert featuring five British celebrities including Central Cee, Maya Jama, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. 

In the campaign, Liverpool and England footballer Alexander-Arnold is joined by his brother Marcell and niece Aura, spending quality time with his loved ones and giving an insight into a private family moment.

Chris Waters, UK and EU marketing director at JD said: “This campaign honours not just the families we’re born into, but also those we choose along the way.

"At this time of year, the essence of family is woven into everyday life, and our campaign seeks to highlight the authentic connections and lived experiences of all forms of family.

"As the leading retailer in sports fashion and lifestyle, JD proudly showcases this year’s incredible talent alongside their families, celebrating the bonds that truly matter in moments that represent them."
