Green light for new £13m leisure centre in Whitchurch
Planning has been approved to build a new, multi-million-pound leisure centre in Whitchurch, Shropshire.
In addition to serving the local community, the state-of-the-art centre will also welcome visitors from surrounding areas.
Funded by Shropshire Council the new £13.1m swimming and fitness centre will include a six-lane 25m pool, 41-station fitness suite and café on the ground floor, complemented by multi-function rooms on the first floor.
UK leisure developer Alliance Leisure has been appointed to deliver the project, working through the UK Leisure Framework. Supporting Alliance will be Pellikaan as lead contractor; architects Roberts Limbrick and Axiom will be responsible for project management.
The new build will reinstate much needed leisure facilities in a community, which has been without a pool since Whitchurch Swimming Pool closed during the pandemic when ongoing maintenance issues deemed it unfit for purpose.
It is anticipated the centre will open in mid-2025.
