Work begins on £24m Haden Hill Leisure Centre

Work has started on a £24m leisure centre in Cradley Heath in the Black Country.

Haden Hill Leisure Centre will feature a main swimming pool, learner pool and a health club with a 100-station gym, two multi-purpose studios and a 27-station indoor cycling studio. Other facilities include a four-court sports hall and a dedicated community room.

Contractor Speller Metcalfe, has now moved onto the site to strip out and then demolish the old centre, with building work on the new one set to start in January 2026.

The redevelopment of the centre, which is owned by Sandwell Council, is being funded by UK Government funding, Sport England and Sandwell Council. The works, delivered by Alliance Leisure, are expected to be completed by spring 2027.
