New leisure centre planned for Trowbridge

Wiltshire Council has submitted a planning application to build a leisure centre in Trowbridge.

Set to be built on the town’s East Wing site, the proposed design will have a strong industrial aesthetic that reflects the heritage of Trowbridge. Internally, accessibility has been put at the heart of the design.

To support the council’s target of being carbon neutral by 2030 the project has also taken a “fabric first” approach to the building design, meaning the building will be as energy efficient as possible.

Facilities within the centre will include a six-lane, 25m swimming pool, a 7m x 13m learner pool, an immersive indoor cycling studio and a health club with a 120-station gym and two studios. A “live well suite” will provide a dedicated space for older people to exercise.
