A new leisure hub could be built in a town nestled between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as part of a £25m transformation of the area. New plans could lead to the regeneration of the waterfront area along the Erewash Canal in Long Eaton, while an improved events space could attract further opportunities to the town.
The new leisure hub would be based at West Park and Erewash Borough Council says it should benefit residents by providing an abundance of new employment opportunities. It is set to some as one of seven projects under the Long Eaton Town Deal.
Up to £25 million will be granted by the Conservative Government, with new leader Liz Truss at the helm, and the seven projects are currently under consideration. Richard Ledger, chairman of the Long Eaton Town Board, says: "These projects may still be in the early stages but when they come to fruition they will provide improved leisure and recreation facilities for residents.
