Detailed plans and building designs for Grimsby's new leisure centre, which includes a swimming pool and sports facilities, are set to be unveiled to the public.

North East Lincolnshire Council is embarking on a phased approach to the replacement of ageing leisure facilities in the area.

The development of a new leisure centre, which is to be built on land adjacent to the current Grimsby Leisure Centre and Grimsby Auditorium, is phase 1 of the project.

The facility will replace Grimsby Swimming Pool and also the fun pool within Grimsby Leisure Centre, creating a county competition standard facility with supporting gym and fitness facilities.

The initial phase of works will concentrate on the design and build of a new swimming pool, learner pool, health and fitness suite and supporting facilities.

The second phase of works will look to replace the current Grimsby Leisure Centre with a range of dry leisure facilities, such as a new sports hall and indoor bowls provision.

The formal planning application for the new centre will be submitted this month and if successful, work will start on site in November 2013.

Documents can be viewed online from 5 March to 13 March.
