Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) is investing £5.2m in refurbishments and energy efficient upgrades at Cotgrave Leisure Centre and Keyworth Leisure Centre, with works due to start at Cotgrave in September 2024, moving onto the Keyworth in Spring/Summer 2025
Several grant funds, along with RBC investment will see both decarbonisation and significant refurbishment at Cotgrave leisure centre. Following works at Cotgrave Leisure Centre, Keyworth will receive a refit, essential roof repairs and investment in the pool filtration equipment.
RBC received £1.2m from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to help reduce the carbon emissions at Cotgrave Leisure Centre.
The funding will enable the replacement of old boilers and outdated, inefficient heating and hot water systems with new modern, low carbon Air Source Heat Pumps. Heat pump units will use electricity from renewable sources to efficiently draw heat from the air and transfer it into the swimming pool and surrounding areas, resulting in 250% to 300% energy efficiency.
In addition, £250,000 funding from the Government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport Swimming Pool Support Fund, administered by Sport England is enabling Solar Panels to be installed on the roof at Cotgrave Leisure Centre. The panels will generate up to 55,000 kwh of electricity a year saving up to £25,000 on running costs, the equivalent to running power for 20 houses.
RBC also received a further £50,000 grant from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) to provide a new Changing Places toilet at the Leisure Centre which opened in April.
Funding from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, UK Shared Propensity Fund is contributing £110,000 to the refurbishment of the centre, which includes:
Leisure Energy employed as principal contractors will deliver the decarbonisation works and will work alongside their appointed sub-contractor JRD Design and Build who will lead on the refurbishment. TSA (formerly Henry Riley Consultants Limited) are providing the Council with project management and cost management services.
Both centres will continue to be operated by the Council’s current leisure provider, Lex Leisure.
Works at Cotgrave leisure centre will commence in October 2024 and continue until Spring 2025. The centre will remain open and available for use by the public, though there will be times when areas of the centre will be unavailable. Some activities may have to move to one of our other centres temporarily. Our partners, Lex Leisure will work closely with users to communicate any changes. All parties aim to keep disruption to a minimum but as with any major refurbishment.
