Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council has appointed Willmott Dixon to complete an extensive £7.5 million refurbishment of Kidsgrove Leisure Centre, restoring the facility that closed in 2017.

Over the next 12 months, the centre will be given an extensive makeover to bring it back to life for local residents to enjoy. Willmott Dixon will strip-out the existing interior, roof and glazing, before delivering a full M&E fit-out alongside adding new pool filtration systems and cathodic protection to the existing pool tank.

Procured using the Scape framework, the building will host a range of wet and dry leisure facilities, including a six-lane swimming pool, fitness suite, spin studio, multipurpose studio space and sports hall catering for a range of indoor sports including netball, badminton, basketball, futsal and cricket. The centre will be run by Kidsgrove Sports Centre Community Group.

The project has been made possible through the allocation of £2.45m from Kidsgrove's Town Deal, as part of the Government’s Towns Fund. The remaining capital funding has been made available from the borough council and partner agencies.
