This work will complete Ashfield Council’s £5.5million investment into the Linby Road centre, which has included upgrading the gym with state-of-the-art equipment, a new café and reception area, a new wetside changing village featuring different sized areas to accommodate multiple users, and new cycling studios.
Coun Lee Waters, council member for Hucknall North, said “It is fantastic to see the progress of the much-needed second swimming pool at Hucknall Leisure Centre.
“The new facility will allow generations of Hucknall children to learn how to swim, which as we know is a valuable life skill.
