This month Alliance Leisure will start work on a multi-million-pound development to improve leisure and learning opportunities for residents in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. And to mark the occasion, a group of stakeholders, partners and the local community cam together to official break ground at the construction site.
A new 3,000m² Leisure and Learning Hub, made possible by a £14 million investment from Towns Funding, will replace the existing Station Sports Centre, adding a 6 lane, 25 metre swimming pool and changing village, a gym and fitness studio as well as a TAGactive indoor adventure play area and outdoor play facilities. In addition, the site will incorporate a digital inclusion learning centre to enable people of all ages to upskill through access to information and distance learning courses. This will be supported by a series of dedicated meeting rooms and a large café area to encourage social interactions.
The multi-functional community development, designed by lead architects, Pozzoni, will be managed by Alliance Leisure through the UK Leisure Framework, owned and managed by Denbighshire Leisure, with ISG named as principle build contractor.

East Lindsey District Council is leading the development with the support of Boston Borough Council and South Holland District Council through the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership.
The Station Sports Centre, currently managed by Magna Vitae Trust for Leisure and Culture, will remain open throughout the construction of the new facility to minimise disruption to the community.
