Sports, leisure and activity club providers in Millom are invited to find out more about the town’s new leisure facility at an event next month.
The new complex is currently under construction as part of Millom Town Deal’s Activating Community Health project, led by Cumberland Council and is due to open this autumn.
It will include a swimming pool, multi-purpose sports hall and fitness studio and a 3G all-weather pitch.
The event on Wednesday April 16 from 5.30pm to 7pm, will be held at The Lighthouse Centre, Haverigg and will introduce Everyone Active, the appointed operator for the site.
The event will provide clubs with the opportunity to learn about the forthcoming programme and facilities at the centre.
David Savage, chair of the Millom Town Deal board, will host the event.
He said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone involved in local sports and activities to help shape the future of Millom’s new leisure facility.
“We want to make sure the facility meets the needs of our community and your input will be invaluable as we develop and deliver a programme that truly benefits the area.”
The new leisure facility is one of four major projects that make up the Millom Town Deal, backed by £20.6 million in Government funding alongside £8.7 million in match funding.
The Copeland Community Fund has provided £1 million towards the project and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has provided a £3.1 million grant, as part of its investment in supporting permanent and sustainable change in Millom and all its site communities.
Funding has also been provided by South Copeland GDF Community Partnership, CGP, Millom School and Millom Town Council.
While the sports and leisure stakeholder workshop is by invitation only, those involved in sports provision in the area can express their interest in attending by emailing their details to [email protected] by Wednesday April 8.
