Rushcliffe Borough Council have produced the designs for the new leisure facility in Bingham
Plans for potential new leisure facilities have gone on display to the community.
Specialist consultants have worked with Rushcliffe Borough Council to produce the designs for the new facility in line with the Bingham Masterplan. They shows artists’ impressions for the sports element of the hub.
The proposals are now on view at Bingham Leisure Centre, the Eaton Place library and at Bingham Town Council’s Church Street offices, during their respective opening hours, until Friday, November 29.
They highlight how the new Chapel Lane site could provide a 25 metre six-lane swimming pool with spectator seating and teaching pool, fitness centre, spin and exercise studios, cafe and a community hall with capacity of 300.
A comprehensive needs assessment has been carried out.
Sports clubs currently using the leisure centre were consulted to help identify demand and requirements for the new facility, which could open by January 2022.
The council and Toot Hill School are working to ensure the existing leisure centre site continues to provide outdoor facilities, including the athletics track and hockey pitch, indoor sports halls and courts.
The hub will more widely offer a community, office and leisure development consistent with the Bingham Growth Board’s aspirations to develop the site as part of a key gateway between the current town centre and the growth of housing developments to the north.
In February, the district council’s cabinet approved recommendations to draw up plans for the facility, which could create up to 90 jobs.
The town council is being consulted on requirements for the community hall.
Final detailed designs of all aspects of the new facility are being reviewed and could lead to a planning application in the coming weeks.
