Plans have been submitted for a new £6.4million community centre that is aiming to become the "heart" of a Nottinghamshire town. The project would transform the changing pavilion on Hickings Lane Recreation Ground, Stapleford, into a multi-million pound community and young people's centre.
The community leisure hub, planned by Broxtowe Borough Council, would host a range of community activities such as fitness classes, yoga, dancing, club groups, elections, meetings and event hire. A young people's centre, which would include a play area, would replace the existing young people's centre in Stapleford.
Nottinghamshire County Council's youth service would provide social and recreational activities at the site, and post-16 learning would also be delivered by Inspire. The existing redundant clubhouse will be demolished and replaced with a combination of grass and planting, with the number of car parking spaces increased.
