New Community Leisure Centre
In addition to the RCP refurbishment and the new centre at Sighthill, the Council have further approved plans to develop a new community sports centre in East Edinburgh to replace the existing sports centre facilities at Meadowbank. A ‘brief’ as to what facilities this centre should offer was prepared some time ago. It detailed:
- Six-court sports hall including seating and storage;
- Fitness gym and two further activity studios;
- Martial arts room;
- 2 Squash courts;
- Synthetic floodlit training area.
We are soon to review these facilities to ensure they are still what are required to best service the local communities.
The location of the new sports centre has been subject to a review by CEC’s Planning Department. Numerous Council sites were reviewed and, currently, their preferred option is the current Meadowbank site. To assist with informing the re-location process, a draft development brief has been prepared and is currently out for public consultation/ comment until March ’07. (Info on this is available in reception at Meadowbank Sports Centre)
Watch this space… you’ll know as soon as we do!
