The start date for construction work on Trowbridge’s new £25 million leisure centre has been confirmed for Monday, April 7.

The car park on the left-hand side, closest to the Asda, will not be available to the public from that date.

Pellikaan Construction will be leading the build of the new facility on Wiltshire Council’s East Wing site.

Wiltshire Council has stated that it will provide further updates during construction.

The leisure centre will have a six-lane 25m swimming pool, a learner pool, a gym with 120 exercise stations, two studios, an immersive spin studio, a community meeting room, a café, an adventure play space for young people, and a live well suite for older people.

Pellikaan Construction’s project director Corné Van Mook recently joined the councillors in Trowbridge for a site visit, during which he described the location as "great" but "complicated", with old buildings having been dotted around the site.

Divisional director at Roberts Limbrick Architects Bastin Bloomfield was also present and explained that the design was centred around accessibility and inclusivity.

Wiltshire Council has also been working with Hadron Consulting, Hydrock (now Stantec), and Alliance Leisure, the delivery partner for the UK Leisure Framework, on this project.
