The work is set to be completed before the new year
A seven figure investment is set to "transform" the swimming pool and facilites at a Nottinghamshire leisure centre. Rushcliffe Borough Council 's £1.2 million investment to decarbonise and refurbish Cotgrave Leisure Centre is underway, with works set to be complete within the next few weeks.
The Pod was designed and built off-site at contractor Leisure Energy’s Technology Centre and delivered to the leisure centre in its own acoustic container enabling better quality control and ease of installation. The decarbonisation of Cotgrave leisure centre is part funded with £1,200,000 from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme and is part of RBC’s £5,200,000 investment in Cotgrave and Keyworth leisure centres.
The panels will generate up to 55,000 kwh of electricity a year saving up to £25,000 on running costs, the equivalent to running power for 20 houses. The Leisure Centre is also benefiting from £110,000 funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for refurbishments, which include: The centre is operated by RBC’s leisure provider, Lex Leisure, who are working closely with users to communicate changes. Rushcliffe Borough Council’s cabinet portfolio holder for leisure and wellbeing, ICT and member development, Cllr Jonathan Wheeler, said: “It’s very exciting to see works progressing on site and reaching a significant milestone with the arrival of the Net Zero Pod delivering pioneering green technology.
