District Council celebrates one year of work on Coalville Leisure Centre

The centre is due to open next summer.

One year on since work started to build the multi-million pound Whitwick and Coalville Leisure Centre, Fosse 107 was given a tour of the site.

Both swimming pools have been dug and water tested ready for tiling, and all activity rooms and the changing areas are built.

Solar panels on the roof of the building are contributing to the council’s Zero Carbon agenda, alongside other energy efficiency measures including air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points. 

The project is a partnership between North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) and its leisure operator Everyone Active.

So far the build has employed the services of 40 local companies, with ten local people have been employed for the duration of the build.
