Dunstable Leisure Centre to become community hub as part of £20m investment

By Tom Walker    28 Sep 2018
The new centre will house a 25m pool and 100-station health club

Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) has pledged to invest £20.1m in transforming Dunstable Leisure Centre into a community hub.

As well as a 25m pool and 100-station health club, the new centre will feature a library, crèche, café and flexible community space for public and community services, such as such as the Citizens Advice and adult day care / disabled sports.

The centre will be operated by SLL and is scheduled to open in winter 2018/2019. Wates Construction has been appointed to build the facility.

In a statement, CBC said: "The previous leisure centre was no longer fit for purpose or cost effective to run – and required substantial improvements.

"By bringing services together under one roof, the new facility will reduce running costs, while providing more flexible services to customers, such as improved opening hours for public services."

In preparation of the opening, SLL has launched a recruitment drive, with a number of vacancies across a range of roles – from sports co-ordinators to an operations manager.

SLL, a registered charity and leisure trust, operates 22 leisure and cultural facilities on behalf of local authorities in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Rutland.
