Willmott Dixon has been awarded a contract worth £31.5 million to build a new leisure centre in Leighton Buzzard.
The contractor will start construction of the Leighton Leisure and Community Centre at Clipstone Park in October 2024. The existing Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre will remain open throughout and after the new centre is complete in Summer 2026.
The new leisure centre will accommodate many improvements on the existing centre including a large health and fitness area and significantly increased swimming provision with an eight lane 25-metre pool, a learner pool and a confidence pool.
The building feature electric car charging points and improved access to sustainable travel options.
Stewart Brundell, managing director for Willmott Dixon in the Northern Home Counties region, said: “We are looking forward to starting on site to begin the construction of the Leighton Leisure and Community Centre.
“This is a project that promises to significantly enhance the quality of life for the local community. The state-of-the-art facility will provide a hub for health, wellness, and recreation, fostering a stronger and vibrant community feel and create a lasting impact which will benefit residents for generations to come.”
