WORK is set to start on the build of a new outdoor centre in East Dunbartonshire for people of all ages.
Morgan Sindall is leading the construction of Twechar Outdoor Pursuits Centre on behalf of East Dunbartonshire Council, with it set to provide a hub for canoeing, kayaking, and cycling, as well as volunteering, education, and training opportunities.
Preparatory works are currently taking place to establish the site, with the local authority anticipating that works will get fully underway in the coming weeks. AtkinsRéalis is providing project management.
Stuart Parker, MD of Morgan Sindall Construction Scotland, said, “We are extremely proud to commence work on Twechar Outdoor Pursuits Centre, which is the second leisure facility that we’ll deliver for East Dunbartonshire Council via the Scape Scotland framework. As we begin work over the coming weeks, the previously derelict site will be transformed into a local hub for cycling, kayaking, canoeing, and more for the whole local community to enjoy.”
Councillor Gordan Low, Leader of East Dunbartonshire Council, added, “It’s great to see people on the site, preparing to turn plans into reality. When it’s complete, Twechar Outdoor Pursuits Centre will provide opportunities for a wide range of ages and abilities – for residents of the village and East Dunbartonshire.
“This previously derelict piece of land will become home to an innovative facility with community involvement at its heart. I look forward to seeing it progress in the coming months.”
