CBC have announced a big expansion of Flitwick Leisure Centre - the nearest facility to us.
They state:
Residents of Flitwick and the surrounding area could be benefiting from a new leisure centre, if the recommendation of Central Bedfordshire’s Executive Committee is approved this month.
Proposals to redevelop the centre on land beside the current site are part of the council’s Leisure Facilities Strategy, which was agreed in January.
Councillors heard that the existing centre in Flitwick is inefficient and can’t be expanded to meet the needs of future generations. A feasibility study has been carried out to explore how a new facility can be developed, on an affordable basis.
The proposal would see the football pitches next to the existing centre being relocated to Ampthill Road. This would free up the site on which the new leisure centre could be built. Only when the new centre is up and running would the present site be sold on to help finance the costs which are estimated to be £12m.
The recommended option for the centre includes: an eight lane, 25m swimming pool with separate variable base learner pool, four court sports hall, health and fitness station with around 120 stations, three workout studios, changing facilities, 2 squash courts, a crèche, café, soft play area, climbing wall and two outdoor 5-a-side pitches.
