Green light for Stevenage leisure hub

Main contractor Morgan Sindall has been appointed by Stevenage Borough Council to deliver a multi-million-pound Sports and Leisure Hub, as part of the town’s wider regeneration.

The hub will be a flexible state-of-the-art facility with swimming pools, studios, gym and multi-use sports halls.

According to the Council, the hub will be highly insulated and will have modern equipment that will reduce running costs and greenhouse emissions.

Morgan Sindall Area Director David Rowsell, said: “We understand the value of community leisure facilities and how they can act as a springboard for better physical and mental health outcomes.

“Stevenage Sports and Leisure Hub will be a new focal point in the town. Having a new state-of-the-art facility, with the whole health and wellbeing offering under one roof, will encourage greater levels of participation in sport, delivering improvements to quality of life across Stevenage.”

Leader of Stevenage Borough Council Cllr Richard Henry, said: “We are really pleased to have appointed Morgan Sindall to deliver this project.

“We need the help of our residents and communities as we progress this scheme, and will be inviting everyone to have their say in the coming months.”
