DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE
DECEMBER 2011 NEWCASTLE’S £12M CENTRE TO OPEN Newcastle-under-Lyme’s new £12m health and wellbeing centre is scheduled to open in December this year. The new facility, located on a site next to the town’s
existing Jubilee Pool, will offer a 25m, eight-lane swimming pool, a learner pool and an 80-station fi tness suite. Dance studios, a climbing wall, wet and dry changing
facilities and multi-purpose areas also form part of the centre, which has received the support of NHS North Staffordshire and Sport England. Robert Foster, head of leisure and cultural services for
Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, says: “Our design team has tried to make sure that the building’s appearance refl ects the modern nature of its interior, while also fi tting in as sympathetically as possible with the ‘edge of town’ character of the Brunswick Street area.”
JANUARY 2012
£30M WARRINGTON SPORTS HUB TO OPEN A £30m community sports hub being built in Warrington is scheduled to open in January 2012. Billed as one of the fi rst sustainable community sports
hubs in the country, the Orford Park Project will be located in an area that’s already regarded as an example
of best practice when it comes to joint service delivery of health and wellbeing. When completed, the centre will provide a variety
of community, health and education facilities including a community sports village complete with pools, sports hall, health and fi tness suite, football pitches, library, health centre and a £3.9m 14–19 Diploma Centre. Orford Park is expected to receive two million visitors each year. The development, which began construction in July
2010, is transforming 50 acres of a former landfi ll site back into use, and enhancing the facilities of an adjacent Victorian community park. It’s being funded in partnership by the Northwest Regional Development Agency, Sport England North West Region, the Football Foundation and the Big Lottery Fund. Funding for the Diploma Centre has also been allocated by DCSF through its Exemplar Diploma Initiative. Warrington Borough Council (WBC) has worked
together with Capita Symonds on the project, which provided a framework for a project management plan. According to WBC, the key to the project’s
sustainability is the development and delivery of a Community Investment Fund, which will provide an annual revenue stream to support ongoing maintenance, as well as replacement and renewal of equipment. In addition, it will also provide monies for engagement and
outreach development – to increase participation in physical activity – and subsidised admission for target groups. Private sector investment will also be sought to help support a number of localised initiatives, including the creation of new jobs and securing of offi ce space. Steven Broomhead, former chief executive of the
Northwest Development Agency, said before his retirement: “Orford Park is an important project which aims to create a leading edge sports hub right here in the north-west and provide the region with a strong legacy from London 2012. “Sport makes a major contribution to our regional
Warrington: A sustainable community sports hub 12
economy, and this project will continue to help create and support jobs within the sector, which is particularly important as we move from recession to recovery.”
