Major investment in city’s leisure facilities

Leisure centres in Hull are benefiting from a series of refurbishment programmes.

Hull City Council says both Woodford and Ennerdale Leisure Centres have recently received major makeovers.

And it adds that work will soon begin to improve Albert Avenue and Beverley Road Baths.

Albert Avenue will see demolition work in the coming weeks, followed by a £4m transformation that will also involve the facility’s historic lido reopening after 25 years.

Work at Beverley Road will begin early in the summer with an expansion of the gym, internal refurbishment and repairs to the Grade II-listed building’s roof for a total investment of £2.9m.

Councillor Daren Hale, deputy leader of Hull City Council, said: “The council is incredibly passionate about our leisure centres and know our residents are too.

“This investment into our communities is really important and I already know it will be really appreciated and loved by their users for years to come.

“This year marks another year of major investment into making Hull a fantastic place to work, live, study, play and visit and these facilities are just part of millions of pounds being spent both privately and publicly on the bright future of our city.”
