Work begins on £3.18m Burscough regeneration

Construction work is underway to transform Burscough Sports Centre in West Lancashire into a modern leisure, fitness and wellbeing hub.

The £3.18m redevelopment is funded by West Lancashire Borough Council, which owns the centre.

Improvements will include an extended gym floor with 70 workout stations and a newly integrated functional training space. This will be complemented by a new indoor cycling studio and a wellbeing space.

The centre’s sports hall and squash court floors will also be refurbished along with extensive improvements to changing rooms and toilets.

Behind the scenes, plant, mechanical, electrical and heating/cooling infrastructure will be upgraded to enhance efficiencies and reduce the facility’s environmental impact.

The work is being delivered by Alliance Leisure, in partnership with Universal Construction, BGH Architects and Hadron Consulting.

Burscough Sports Centre is scheduled for reopening in early 2025.

Councillor Coughlan, from West Lancashire Borough Council, said: “The changes will not only provide a quality modern offer to the residents of the borough, but they will also help the council to make progress towards its net zero aspirations.”
