Shropshire Council has officially opened its brand-new leisure centre, developed in partnership with Alliance Leisure and delivered through the UK Leisure Framework (UKLF). Replacing the previous centre, which closed in 2020 due to structural issues, the new development offers a wide range of modern facilities, including a 25-metre, six-lane community pool with a movable floor, a 41-station fitness suite, multi-purpose rooms, accessible changing areas, and a welcoming café. The centre is set to become a vibrant hub for health, fitness, and wellbeing — providing essential services for residents, attracting visitors from surrounding areas, supporting local businesses, and boosting the local economy. Sustainability has been a key focus throughout the project. Designed to BREEAM Excellent standards, the building incorporates a ‘Fabric First’ approach with thermally efficient cladding, roofing, and glazing to reduce heat loss. Solar panels help power the site, while high-efficiency air source heat pumps provide heating and cooling, ensuring the facility operates with minimal environmental impact. On this project, we worked alongside Pellikaan Construction, Roberts Limbrick, Greenwood Projects and Axiom Project Services
