A new leisure centre and community hub for Clay Cross has been approved by North East Derbyshire District Council.

The district council’s approved plans as part of a £24 million pound deal for the town.

NEDDC is working on ten projects as part of the Clay Cross Town Deal, which aims to turn it into a sustainable market town.

North East Derbyshire District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Cllr Jeremy Kenyon said:

“This is a fantastic and significant moment not just for Clay Cross but for the whole district.

“As the design progresses in the coming months, we look forward to sharing with you the proposals in more detail to hear resident’s thoughts and how we have responded to your consultation comments.

“There is growing demand for places where communities can come together, socialise and most importantly, have fun. I strongly believe leisure centres have a vital role to play in this, in addition to being a place where we can all get our heart rate up and be more active.”
