Telford & Wrekin Council says the works will represent a "significant programme of investment" into Wellington Civic and Leisure Centre that follow on from the investment programme at Oakengates Leisure Centre (2024) and at Newport Fitness and Swimming Centre (2022).
The work at the leisure centre will focus on a programme of renewal of the plant infrastructure at the site to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions including the installation of an air source heat pump, roof and wall insulation and a new hot water system. All of this work forms part of the commitment by Telford & Wrekin Council to operate as carbon neutral by 2030.
Work will also be undertaken to improve the swimming pool environment for users through the installation of new lighting, works to the pool promenade, improved ventilation and a programme of redecoration. Proposals relating to improvements to the health suite and changing rooms, including new lockers and additional changing cubicles are being developed and further details will be released during the works programme.
