SPRINTER turned athletics coach Linford Christie was one of the guests at the opening of a new facility in Bexley Village which will also offer help to children with disabilities.

He joined Olympic hopeful Laura Turner, one of his athletes, to open KTB Physiotherapy and Pilates in the village High Street.

Its KTB Kids facility has a fully equipped sensory room to help children with autistic spectrum disorders who need sensory stimulation, which will also run alongside mainstream sessions and physiotherapy for babies, toddlers and children.
