Spen Valley Leisure Centre – start on site

Building works have begun last week on the Spen Valley Leisure Centre for Kirklees Council with the foundations being commenced for the new building.

The facility will include an 8 lane, 25 metre main pool, an activity pool 20m x 10m with moveable floor, spectator seating in the pool areas, large fitness suite, two fitness studios with flexibility for other use and a cycling studio. There will also be two changing villages which will include family cubicles, baby change and large team changing areas.

Leader of the Council, Cllr Shabir Pandor said: “I’m really pleased to see the start of work on this major capital development project for the people of North Kirklees.

We are committed to supporting people to be healthy and live independently in their communities for as long as possible. The leisure centre will become a major asset for the local community, attracting more visitors into Kirklees and will help to create a sustainable economy. I look forward to seeing the developments on site as Kier begin the construction phase.”
