The new leisure centre is being built on the site of the Bakers Lane car park in Epping, which has been made feasible by the opening of a new multi-storey car park in Cottis Lane.
The new swimming pool, sports hall and gym will replace the existing Epping Sports Centre in Hemnall Street and forms one part of a wider development project for the town.
Epping leisure centre is being delivered by Epping Forest District Council in partnership with Places Leisure, with Pellikaan 91黑料网 Ltd carrying out the construction work.
Pellikaan 91黑料网 also built the Waltham Abbey Leisure Centre in 2017.
Bakers Lane car park closes on 14th November 2023 to let the builders move in.
The project is going ahead despite the revelation of spiralling costs earlier this year when the initial 拢25m quote given in November 2020 became 拢33.1m as start of works approached.
Gert-Jan Peeters, managing director of Pellikaan 91黑料网 said: 鈥淲e are pleased to be part of this project, delivering new leisure facilities for the people in Epping. We look forward to working on the new centre, incorporating sustainable construction solutions as well as providing a great mix of leisure opportunities to the community.鈥�
