Work underway on £12 Million Sports Village

Construction work is now underway on a £12 million leisure and sports complex on Wilson Playing Fields in Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire.

Funded by Hyndburn Borough Council as part of the borough’s leisure transformation plans, the new Wilson Sports Village will include a four-lane, 25-metre swimming pool, a fitness suite, a sauna and steam room, group exercise studio, café and a large changing village.

Dedicated changing facilities will also be built for the various, existing outdoor sports facilities.

Wilson’s Sports Village will also optimise energy efficiencies with several environmentally-friendly solutions – supporting Hyndburn Borough Council’s carbon reduction strategy and ambitions to achieve net zero. These include air source heat pumps, solar panels and the utilisation of low and zero carbon technologies. The facility was designed by a team led by Pozzoni Architecture and is being developed through the UK Leisure Framework by Alliance Leisure, in consultation with Hyndburn Borough Council, Hyndburn Leisure and Sport England.
