Dolphin Sports Centre concourse improvements

Updated 28th January 2010

Provisional work has begun on designs for improvements to the concourse fronting the Dolphin swimming pool and sports centre, with the aim of raising the quality of landscaping and providing a more attractive space for people to enjoy.

The concourse area is currently an uninviting, poorly used space in a key town centre location.  A wall, raised beds and planters block various sightlines and the whole area would benefit from being opened up and re-designed.  Pedestrian links are overly hard landscaped, untidy and uninspiring.

Public Consultation

We will be undertaking on-site consultation on:

  • Thursday 4th February (1.30 - 5.00pm) and

  • Friday 5th February (11.30am - 2.30pm), both taking place outside the sports centre on the open space.

  • Saturday 6th February (11.30am - 2.30pm) inside the sports centre with a display that will then remain in place for the following 2 weeks.

Consultation will include a presentation and will introduce possible themes and styles for the future. 

Come and along and have your say!

There will be a questionnaire to complete, asking about your existing use of the space and how you would like to see it developed in the future.

Draft designs will be drawn up following this consultation; there will then be further opportunities to influence the future of the concourse area as the project progresses.

We anticipate that this project will be delivered by spring 2011.
