The London Borough of Bromley has appointed Alliance Leisure to lead on the 拢22m revamp of West Wickham Leisure Centre. The main contractor will be Etec Group.

The proposals include a new caf茅, gym, reception area, changing rooms and a competition-length swimming pool.

West Wickham Leisure Centre was closed last year following initial findings of structural issues at the centre. Enabling works, including asbestos removal, have already been completed, which will allow works on the rebuild to proceed at pace.

Demolition works at the centre are set to start in the coming weeks, subject to final planning approval, with the works having already been approved at a council meeting in July. Works are also continuing on the refurbishment of the remainder of the centre, particularly the learner pool.

Councillor Yvonne Bear, executive councillor for renewal, recreation and housing, said: 鈥淲e are in a fairly unique position among local authorities of being able to press ahead with a substantial investment in our leisure provision, and I know many residents will be excited to see further progress on site shortly as we secure this centre for many years to come.鈥�

The revised proposals follow structural assessments work at the centre after asbestos was removed, allowing the building structure to be examined more closely. Part of the building was determined to be beyond economic repair and must be demolished and rebuilt. Although the centre will now be delivered on a revised schedule, expected to reopen in early 2028, the rebuild plan will offer greater long-term certainty and also minimise future maintenance costs, the council said.
