Councillor James Swindlehurst, the leader of Slough Borough Council, has recently toured The Centre in Farnham road and described it as “a truly state-of-the-art leisure facility.” He was joined by Councillor Rob Anderson as they check how building work is progressing.
The building, which is set to open in spring 2019, is the first of its kind to be installed in the UK.
Cllr Swindlehurst said: “I am delighted to see our vision for The Centre taking shape. This is an exciting time for sports-led regeneration in Slough and our final facility to be delivered under our leisure strategy is the biggest and most ambitious.
“The Centre will be a truly state-of-the-art leisure facility, designed to meet the needs of families, recreational fitness enthusiasts and professional sportspeople alike; and it will be a striking addition to the Farnham Road.”
Cllr Anderson added: “In my lifetime I’ve seen The Centre in all its forms, from the original 1930s community centre built for workers on the Slough Trading Estate, to a more modern community centre in the 1990s.
“I've used The Centre many times in all its incarnations and I can't wait to see this top class leisure facility open its doors and join all those who live and work here, in having even more reasons to get active.”
