New swimming pool planned for Wakefield
Published Date: 26 April 2010
PLANS have been drawn up to build a new city centre swimming pool in Wakefield.
Wakefield Council has submitted a planning application for a pool and fitness centre on Sun Lane, the site of the city's former baths.
The project, which will cost around £10m, will feature a 25m pool, health and fitness suite, steam room and public cafe.
Lisa Dodd, the council's service director for sport and culture, said: "This is the next step towards seeing this key project realised.
"The application will now go through all the normal planning processes and we hope that once approved, initial work can begin later this year."'"
Fair point but even so with this built facilties could still be classed as very poor - especially over the west side of wakefield (horbury / ossett way).
I doubt with council cuts that they will spend 10million on this project - no doubt it will end up being scaled back and again the council will lead the people of wakefield up the garden path! Im sick of seeing artists impressions in the wakey express yet nothing ever gets built apart from the horrid market. Lets hope our
newmarket will be built and be better than the one in the city centre!!
