A Busy Summer Sees 3 New Projects Complete For Alliance Leisure
As Alliance Leisure heads towards its 25th anniversary year in 2024 the number of completed projects and investment value in local authority leisure facilities continues to climb. This summer has seen a number of new leisure facilities open their doors to local communities across the country including three large projects on behalf of Wirral Council, North Yorkshire Council, and West Berkshire Council. These developments take Alliance Leisure’s project tally to over 230 with an investment value of more than £340 million.
Northcroft Lido, Newbury
The major redevelopment of the lido at Northcroft Leisure Centre, Newbury completed following a £5.7 million investment and was commissioned by West Berkshire Council in partnership with Myrtha Pools and Universal Civils & Build through the UK Leisure Framework. The project comprised new outdoor facilities including a 50 metre, Olympic size outdoor swimming pool supported by a splash pad and fun slide, beach hut-style changing rooms, a sun terrace, and a relaxation area, all of which are fully accessible.
Harrogate Leisure and Wellbeing Centre
The Harrogate Hydro reopened its doors in September having been transformed into the Harrogate Leisure and Wellbeing Centre, thanks to a £13.5 million major refurbishment by North Yorkshire Council. The facility is operated by Brimhams Active. New facilities include a new 400m2 fitness suite, a Les Mills immersive cycle studio, a sauna and steam suite, plus a reconfigured reception and café.
Bidston Sports & Activity Centre, Wirral
As part of its ambition to encourage an active community and create a commercially sustainable future for its leisure provision, Wirral Council invested £2.7 million in the repositioning and development of the Wirral Tennis & Sports Centre as an activity hub for the whole family. The facility was renamed Bidston Sports & Activity Centre. Alliance Leisure was appointed as the council’s leisure development partner and delivered the project through the UK Leisure Framework, which is owned by Denbighshire Leisure.
