A new leisure centre is set to open in Hinckley, Leicestershire by March 2015. The centre will feature a main 25m pool with six lanes and a learner pool. It will also house a sports hall with six badminton courts, a health and fitness facility with 100 stations, two dance studios / multi-purpose rooms, a climbing wall and a health suite.
The council is looking for an operator partner to design, build, operate and maintain (DBOM) the centre.
Council leader Stuart Bray said: “The current leisure centre is well-used but is coming to the end of its life and it’s more cost-effective to build a new one rather than constantly patching up the existing one. The plans for Argents Mead will include a large extension to the green space and the new centre must be designed to blend in sympathetically with the parkland setting.”
The current leisure centre, managed by SLM, will remain in operation until the new facility opens in 2015.
