CIVIC chiefs have confirmed the contractor who will build Winchester city centre’s £38m leisure centre, should the plans be approved.
Willmott Dixon has been selected to carry out the work following a bidding process.
As previously reported, the multi-million pound scheme would include a flexible 50m swimming pool, along with a learner pool and splash area, as well as – controversially – an eight-court sports hall.
The site will also feature eight treatment and therapy rooms, a gym with 200 stations, two large studios for exercise classes, a spin studio with around 60 bikes and a cafe.
Councillor Lisa Griffiths, portfolio holder for health and wellbeing and leisure centre committee chairman, said: “This is an exciting announcement showing real progress is being made.”
If approved, the council plans to complete the centre in early 2021.
