Contractors and design partners Wilmott Dixon are preparing to start work on the site of the East Riding Leisure in Goole into readiness to transform it into the £17m Goole Hub after Council planners signed off on the scheme.
Plans include retention of the Sports Hall and a Health Suite will be added, as well as added, as well as Goole Library and Customer Service Centre moving in. It is hoped that work will be finished by summer 2025.
Councillor Nick Coultish, portfolio holder for culture, leisure and tourism, said: “This scheme is very exciting for Goole and will provide a wonderful new facility for the town, and for our East Riding Leisure members. I am absolutely delighted that work can now get under way on the site.
“We recognise the inconvenience that will be caused by the lengthy closure of East Riding Leisure Goole, but we promise that the wait will be worth it.
“A whole range of alternative arrangements are in place during the closure period, and we continue to work hard to ensure the best possible alternatives are made available. We will also communicate with residents and customers throughout the process.”
