Nottingham leisure centre plans submitted
Nottingham City Council (NCC) has lodged plans for the £9m development of the city's new Victoria Leisure Centre, which will be built on the site of the existing facility.
Designs for the complex have been drawn up by London-based architects Levitate and form part of a wider £32m council-led scheme to upgrade leisure provision across Nottingham. The existing Victoria Leisure Centre is due to close on 1 April to make way for the new centre, which is the second new-build facility to be developed in the city after the Djanogly Community Leisure Centre - set to open in April.
Plans for the new Victoria Leisure Centre boast a six-lane, 25m swimming pool with separate children's pool and fun splash play area, a new café and retail space and fitness and health suites. The proposed new centre has also been designed to complement efforts to revitalise the Sneinton Square area, which aims to improve links between the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
NCC portfolio holder for communities, leisure and culture, Dave Trimble, said: "We are committed to creating a modern facility which will attract many more customers than the existing centre, hopefully children and young people in particular, and will be a fantastic amenity for everyone. "The development of the leisure centre is playing a key part in re-shaping this part of the city, and we are ensuring that our leisure centre proposals complement those plans that are coming forward for the redevelopment of Sneinton Square."
