'Milestone' for town as plans filed for new leisure centre

FACILITY IS PART OF A WIDER PROJECT TO REDEVELOP AREA

- By EVA MILLETT

A PLANNING application has been submitted for a new state-of-the-art leisure centre and open plan office building in Swadlincote.

The facility will replace the current Green Bank Leisure Centre, which will be demolished as part of the redevelopment of Swadlincote town centre, and will be situated just off William Nadin Way.

The new flexible workspace is being designed for potential use as a satellite office for the planned new unitary council, or to be leased to other tenants in the future.
