We have been busy the last couple of weeks completing the demolition of the front of the building, including the old reception, changing rooms and gym.

As part of the demolition work, we have had to remove some asbestos.

Our ground workers have started laying the foundations for the steel frame which will be arriving on site in early August.

The roof of the existing swimming pool has been removed.

Halo Leisure has created a temporary gym on site for existing members and are welcoming non-members to join at a reduced price.

Gym members still have access to the original car park. We have created a well-lit footpath that runs from the car park to the temporary gym.

And we’re off….

On the 6^th July, Halo handed over the keys for the Ledbury swimming pool. Since then, our construction team have set up site, prepped the area for demolition, established temporary electrical supply to the site cabins and completed demolition works.

We have been joined on site by Smiths Ltd, who we regularly work with at Speller Metcalfe. Smith Ltd are in charge of demolishing the existing building, including the reception, changing rooms and seating area in the swimming pool to make way for a new modern façade.

MW Scaffolding have also joined us on site to set up the scaffolding surrounding the swimming pool so that we can remove the existing roof.

Prepped and ready to go, this month we will be digging out the foundations and drainage and removing the existing windows to the swimming pool.

Thank you to Simon Henshaw for filling in as site manager whilst Ian was on holiday and hello to Speller Metcalfe employee, Ben Hodson, who has joined us on site to carry out any carpentry work that is needed.
