Councillors Impressed During Site Visit to Whitchurch

Councillors Lezley Picton, Peggy Mullock, Gerald Dakin, Tom Biggins, and portfolio holder Cllr Rob Macey were highly impressed by the progress being made on the new Whitechurch Leisure Centre in Shropshire on a recent site visit.

The new multi-million pound facility will boast a six-lane 25m pool with adjustable depth, a 41-station fitness suite  and café on the ground floor, complemented by multi-function rooms on the first floor. 

It is expected that, in addition to providing vital services to the local community, the state-of-the-art centre will also welcome visitors from surrounding areas, driving economic growth and creating new opportunities for local businesses.

Whilst the build was originally expected to complete in June 2025, contractors Pellikaan now anticipate that it will be finished three months earlier than planned.

Cllr Mullock said:

This is what the town has needed for years.

I’ll be going away to tell people that I’ve seen it and it’s going to be brilliant. It’s going to be for people who are few months old to pensioners and everyone can use it.

The project was procured through the UK Leisure Framework, managed by Denbighshire Leisure, and the team also includes architects Roberts Limbrick, and Axiom as project managers.
