News Archive - Dec/January 2010Rushden Development to Release Two Sites A DETAILED planning application has been submitted for the new Manor Park Leisure Centre in Rushden. The proposed development by East Northamptonshire Council, working in partnership with Rushden Town Council, aims to provide residents with access to wet and dry leisure facilities in one purpose built building. The modern, energy efficient leisure centre, designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects, represents a £13m investment in the area’s sports, fitness and leisure facilities. The leisure centre will incorporate a six-lane, 25-metre swimming pool including a floating floor to facilitate aqua aerobics, group access for swimmers with a disability and teaching for smaller children. A separate submersible platform allows access for individual swimmers with a disability. Leisure water facilities planned include jets and fountains. A six-court sports hall will provide space for numerous sports including badminton, gymnastics, hockey, football, tennis and volleyball. The proposal also includes a sauna and steam room, café, dance studios and health & fitness suite. Flexible space will be available for a crèche, theatre activities, community meetings and events. It is intended that the new leisure centre will replace Rushden’s existing facilities at the Splash Leisure Pool and Pemberton Centre, which are in need of upgrading. As a result, two key sites will be made available to kickstart the regeneration and development of Rushden and stimulate opportunities for major private sector investment. East Northamptonshire Council is providing up to £11m in funding for the project and an additional £2m has been secured by North Northants Development Company from the Government’s Growth Fund. A further £800,000 has also been provided by the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) through Northamptonshire Enterprise. « |
