Work under way at last at leisure centre site
The Huddersfield Daily Examiner
|September 24, 2025
WORK to demolish Halifax's old leisure centre - in preparation for building a new one - is visible to people from this week.
North Bridge car park closed from Monday (September 22) until the new £35 million leisure centre, incorporating a new swimming pool for the town, is completed.
It is estimated it will be finished in 2027.
Work at the North Bridge Leisure Centre site to prepare for construction includes installing safety fencing around the site, demolishing buildings around the old sports hall, site investigations, essential groundworks, tree protection work and updating condition surveys for culverts and drains.
The car park needs to be closed to ensure this can all be done safely, says the council.
Senior councillors say it is a “major milestone”.
