New Leisure Centre at Grange Paddocks - Coming 2021

The new leisure centre will be built to the south of the existing leisure centre and the existing centre will be demolished on completion of the new facility. The proposed new facility also includes external works such as the relocation of some existing pitches, new landscaping and external seating areas, a new play area and the creation of a new all-weather 3G pitch and tennis courts (subject to a future planning application).
