A56 Leisure Corridor

The vision for the A56 Leisure corridor project is to develop a sustainable offer for Leisure, Health and Wellbeing services across the A56 Corridor area which focusses on increasing participation and reducing health inequalities.

Frodsham Leisure Centre

Cheshire West and Chester Council, together with Brio Leisure, are fully committed to improving facilities co-located with the Library in the current location at Frodsham.

To help inform emerging plans, we have already completed:

• community & stakeholder consultation/ engagement
• a leisure needs analysis
• assessment of usage and trends
• a building survey & identification of energy efficiency options
• a feasibility study looking at a long list of options and potential funding

A detailed study is currently underway to explore in detail two options:

• Option A: Exploring refurbishment of ground floor as a modern, vibrant and fit- for-purpose leisure, health and well-being facility, with upper floor use by a public sector partner
• Option B: Partial demolition of two-storey part of the building and re-building, to create modern, vibrant and fit-for-purpose leisure, health and wellbeing facilities (Library and sports hall unaffected).

The study will be completed in 2025, with the Council’s cabinet considering recommendations on way forward in Spring 2025.
