The work which includes the clearance of the site is expected to take approximately four weeks and will be undertaken by AR Demolition.

Michael Henderson MD of AR commented: “We are pleased to be involved in the enabling works for this new leisure centre for the area, preparing the old site for the next phase of development.”

In readiness for the demolition, contractors have removed materials, fixtures and fittings from inside the building, which will be recycled or reused where possible.

The Leader of Warwick District Council, Andrew Day commented: “We are delighted to have reached another milestone and are now looking forward to the commencement of construction of these wonderful new facilities in a matter of weeks.”

The £multi million project, funded by Warwick District Council will see the recreation centre at Castle Farm replaced with a new leisure centre featuring a sports hall, 80 station gym and fitness centre as well as a new Scouts and Guides headquarters.   

Contractual negotiations for the Abbey Fields Swimming Pool redevelopment plans are now at their final stages, with an announcement expected soon. Further information will be posted on the Council’s website.
