Leisure Centre To Become Car Park
20 September 2011 by Hamst
North Lincolnshire Council has submitted plans to turn the former Leisure Centre site into a temporary car park.
The former Leisure Centre on Carlton Street is currently under demolition after being replaced by the £21m Pods Sports Academy on Ashby Road; as yet there are no plans as to what will eventually become of the site but short term it looks set to become a temporary car park. Previously North Lincolnshire Council had been in talks with Marks & Spencer about moving to the site however those talks fell through. The nearby multi-storey car park has also been closed down after been found to be structurally unsafe and also awaits demolition; this will leave a large open space in the town which could be ripe for retail development.
Leisure Centre Under Demolition
The plans for the car park show space for 232 cars on a surface of rolled crushed compacted hardcore and it will act as temporary replacement for the doomed multi-storey as well as an overflow to the current car park on Carlton Street.
