Droitwich Leisure and Wellbeing Investment

We have allocated an initial £7 million to upgrade Droitwich Spa Leisure Centre.

This includes the creation of a new extension with reception, café and a new learner pool. Upgrades will be made to improve the centre’s carbon footprint.

Treatment rooms will also be refurbished and there will be extra car parking.

An £8 million redevelopment of Droitwich Spa Lido is proposed. This includes extensions to the Art Deco building, expanding the site and the introduction of a Brine Bath, new cafe and restaurant, spa and leisure offer.

A consultation on the plans closed in December. Coucillors will consider the proposal in detail early in the new year.

We have allocated £300,000 for a new skate park to replace the current one on King George V Playing Fields near the underpass to the Westlands, which is now 20-years-old. 

It is proposed the skate park will be built near to the leisure centre. The new park will be bigger and more in line with other skate parks in Evesham and Pershore.

Young people have been asking for a pump track for some time and we have made £125,000 available to make this a reality. It is proposed this will go next to the skate park.

The health corridor will link Vines Park to Churchfields creating an active travel route that will also increase people's access to nature and boost accessibility to Coney Meadow.

The project will involve the creation of a formal towpath, solar lighting, and benches. We will also be working with the Canal and River Trust to make improvements to Coney Meadow to boost biodiversity.

We have allocated £252,000 to replace the athletics track at Droitwich Spa High School, in partnership with the school, to benefit students and the community.
