Plans approved for new £47m leisure centre in Hove

Brighton & Hove City Council has approved plans to demolish a leisure centre on Hove seafront and replace it with a new £47 million facility.

Following the green light being given for the project, the council will now invest £2.7 million in designing the new facility on the site of the aging King Alfred leisure centre.

Plans include – though exact details are yet to be confirmed – an eight-lane 25-metre pool, a learner pool, splash pool, soft play area, six sports courts and a health club with a large gym floor, two exercise studios and an indoor cycling studio.
