✔️ APPROVED ✔️

PLANS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL FOR THE BUILD OF OUR PUMP TRACK AND MANY MORE FANTASTIC IDEAS PUT FORWARD TO THEM FOR HEALTH, WELLBEING AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES.

WELL DONE EVERYONE!

Last night we approved exciting plans to invest £13 million into health and leisure opportunities for Droitwich Spa.

They include:

🏊 £7 million for Droitwich Spa Leisure centre to include a new extension with reception, café and a new learner pool. Upgrades will be made to improve the centre’s carbon footprint. Treatment rooms will also be refurbished and there will be extra car parking. We were unable to replace the entire centre as planned as due to inflation, costs have spiralled 📈 from £25 million to as much as £42 million. 😮

🧂 More than £5 million for Droitwich Lido to upgrade the Worcester Road entrance, bring the upstairs of the Art Deco building back into use, potentially as a restaurant, and other improvements to the Lido facility. These include turning the historic ‘Milk Bar’ area into a small holistic therapy salt room with direct reference to Droitwich Salt and the natural brine line to the Lido. Sauna and steam pods and a children’s play area are also proposed. Droitwich Spa Place Board is currently considering options for the site and more information will be released at a later date.

🛹 £300,000 for a new skate park on King George V Playing Fields next to the underpass to the Westlands. The new park will be bigger and more in line with other skate parks in Evesham and Pershore.

🚲 £125,000 for a new pump track in response to feedback from local young people. Sites are still being considered.

🚶 £1 million to create a health corridor between Vines Park and Churchfields Farm, proposed by Droitwich Spa Place Board. This will involve the creation of a formal towpath, solar lighting, new mooring and benches. There will also be a kayak launch and an e-bike hire scheme.

🎽 £252,000 to replace the athletics track at Droitwich Spa High School, in partnership with the school, to benefit students and the community.

Detailed plans 📋 for each project will be worked up and delivered over the next four years.

Each scheme will need further approval from councillors and there will be consultation 💬 with the public.

Exciting times ahead! We look forward to releasing more information about these schemes when we have it.
