Introduction
The consultation outlines exciting proposals for new swimming, fitness and leisure provision at Shrewsbury Sports Village. The proposals follow extensive work and engagement undertaken over the last few years to consider plans for the future provision of swimming, fitness and leisure provision in Shrewsbury.
The following proposals relate to Shrewsbury Sports Village only, and has no bearing on decisions about the Quarry. No decision regarding the future of the Quarry facility has been made by Shropshire Council. The Council will look at future options for the Quarry site once the Shrewsbury Sports Village project is sufficiently advanced. The Quarry would be subject to a separate consultation in due course.
Shropshire Council therefore proposes to currently focus on Shrewsbury Sports Village with the aim of creating a multi-feature centre which is more appealing to a wider demographic, is more accessible, will attract greater revenue and offers an energy efficient modern building
The proposal will maintain the current facilities at the Sports Village but add additional ones as follows:
· 25 metre x 8 lane pool – suitable for County competitions and general swimming
· 17 x 10 metre learner pool with moveable floor and children’s water party module
· Seating in pool hall for 300 spectators and space for 200 Competitors
· Changing village plus Changing Places facility.
· New reception area and lobby with Café overlooking the pool
· New children’s soft play area adjacent to café
· New 130 station fitness-suite
· New toning and wellness suite for elderly users
· Multi-purpose studio with access to existing kitchen - divisible into 2 areas for events
· New Dance Studio
· New 30 station cycle spin studio
· Refurbish the dry changing facilities
Maintain all other internal and external facilities on site including the main sports hall with 8 badminton courts, Box 12 Boxing studio,16 football pitches and football changing, Football Academy offices, bowls hall, cycle track and 8 netball courts.
