High quality local authority spa offerings are a growing trend
A holistic approach to health Client: Dalesauna Supplier: Wyre Council
D
alesauna is developing a new spa at Poulton Leisure Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, UK, as part of
an investment of more than £5m to reinvent local leisure provision. Wyre Council is the latest local
authority to complement its fi tness facilities by investing in a substantial spa offering, to provide a one-stop shop for health and wellbeing. Designed by Dalesauna, the new spa is the fi rst of its kind in the area. It will feature a range of heat experiences including a spa pool, sauna, steamroom, aromatherapy room, salt room, monsoon showers and an ice feature. There will also be four treatment rooms on offer. “This is an ambitious project, but we’re
an ambitious authority and we like to push the boundaries. We want to make sure we offer customers the best spa
experience we can, with a mix of facilities that come together to offer a full spa journey,” says Michael Ryan, corporate director of people and
places at Wyre Council. The facility, which is being developed
by contractor ISG, will be managed by Fylde Coast YMCA – the current operators of Poulton Leisure Centre. “By setting high standards, delivering
a high level of service and value for money, I’m confi dent we will be able to serve existing leisure centre users and attract new people to the facility,” says Ryan. Dalesauna has carried out a number
of similar projects in the public sector over the last 18 months, creating modern spas at Ramsgate, Wimbledon, Westminster Lodge and The Lagoon Leisure Centres, in addition to the ground-breaking development at Pendle Leisure Centre more than six years ago. The new spa at Poulton Leisure
Centre is yet another example of a local authority taking a more holistic

approach to health. “The health of the local population is very important to us. We already do a lot of work to improve the fi tness of children and adults, and the new spa will allow us to offer users the additional health benefi ts of a wellbeing and relaxation experience,” explains Ryan. Gerard McCarthy, sales director at
Dalesauna, adds: “We’re delighted to be working with construction services company ISG and Wyre Council on this prestigious project. This development is part of a growing trend among local authority and trust operators, which are broadening their health and fi tness services to provide a wider wellness offering that has a much broader appeal across the age ranges.” He concludes: “Stress accounts for
a very high proportion of visits to the GP, and mental wellbeing is at least as important as the physical, if not more so.” The project at Poulton Leisure
Centre is due to be completed at the end of the year, with the new spa likely to open in early 2015. Details:
