Extensive upgrade works at a Mansfield leisure centre, which will see the installation of new facilities in the pool, a revamped changing room and a climbing wall, are gathering pace.
The works at Water Meadows Leisure Complex are part of a £1.8m scheme to transform the amenities and are expected to open to the public during February half-term.
Mayor Andy Abrahams, portfolio holder for Environment and Leisure Andy Burgin, chief executive of the council Adam Hill, and leisure and community wellbeing manager Marie Clay were given a site tour and an update of the works this week by More Leisure, which operates the leisure facility for the council.
Jack Garner, contract manager for More Leisure Community Trust, said: “As well as the additional upgrades in the pool, café and climbing wall, our gym has also undergone a much needed renovation and is already open to the public with state-of-the-art equipment which will see a much-improved experience for our members. We know that these works will be a benefit to the whole Mansfield community and we can’t wait to show you all the finished product later in the year.
“We’ve taken a brilliant site and given it a much-needed facelift. We want to turn Water Meadows into somewhere that all Mansfield residents can be proud of – while also increasing the number of visitors into the town.”
