Leisure centre revamp set to begin

Building work is set to begin at Droitwich Spa Leisure Centre

A £15m project to extend and revamp Droitwich Spa Leisure Centre is set to start this week.

Plans to rebuild the existing centre were scrapped by the local authority last year, after estimated costs rose to £42m.

Wychavon District Council's plans for the site include a new learner pool, car park, cafe and reception area. There will also be a full refurbishment of the swimming pool and gym changing rooms.

Work is due to be completed by November 2026.

Plans for a new £300,000 skatepark near the leisure centre were also being finalised, said the council, with work expected to start by May 2026.

A pump track is also planned for the site, with work starting once the skate park is built.
