Bury St Edmunds Leisure Centre is set to undergo key improvements, including new water play features, updated changing facilities and complete decarbonisation of the site.

Works at the centre are expected to start in early November and will be completed in phases to minimise disruption to users of the centre.

West Suffolk Council has been successful in securing a decarbonisation grant that enables the leisure centre to replace gas plant with heat pumps.

The proposed enhancements to the leisure centre, combined with the decarbonisation works, will improve the facilities and services to better meet the needs of the community.

West Suffolk Council and Abbeycroft have worked together with Alliance Leisure, the specialist leisure development partner, to design the refurbishment works to reflect the consultation responses and bring this project to fruition.

The first phase includes the installation of a new dedicated Spin Studio and the existing Fitness Suite will be redecorated and new equipment installed – including the enhancement of E-gym offering modern smart fitness technology.

Also included in the first phase is work to the existing health suite, which will be refurbished with a modern sauna, steam room and new solarium facilities. The room finishes will be enhanced to create a more natural tone, creating a light and relaxing environment.

The project was procured using the UK Leisure Framework, owned and managed by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL), with the project team consisting of Etec Group, Saunders Boston, Varsity Consulting, Hippo Leisure, Hensall and Leisure Energy.
