SOUTH Ayrshire Council has appointed the project team to deliver the £10 million redevelopment of Citadel Leisure Centre at Ayr Harbour.
Alliance Leisure is leading the project to revitalise the centre, which is used by some 300,000 people a year.
Working alongside the leisure development specialist is architect and principal designer, Holmes Miller, and principal contractor, Robertson Construction Central West. The design team comprises Axiom Project Services, WPS, and Struer.
The project has been secured through the UK leisure framework, which is owned by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL). The comprehensive refurbishment will address necessary repair work and will also see the introduction of exciting new facilities to enhance the user experience and create an inviting play, sports, and recreation destination for both residents and visitors.
Andy McLinden, MD of Robertson Construction Central West, said, “Working with Alliance Leisure to support the council in improving and revamping existing buildings for local communities, the much-loved Citadel Leisure Centre will receive a transformation of its facilities. With the end users in mind, we will ensure that we deliver a thriving community leisure hub that will promote accessible sport and physical activity opportunities for the local community and beyond.”
Councillor Brian Connolly, sport and leisure portfolio holder for South Ayrshire Council, added, “These are exciting times for the Citadel Leisure Centre. I am delighted that a project team has been appointed and we can proceed with plans to revitalise this popular facility. Alliance Leisure has been injecting life into leisure facilities for 25 years and I am confident they can transform the Citadel to ensure it continues to boost the health and wellbeing of locals and visitors for many years to come.”
