Plans to develop a leisure centre and theatre in Eastwood, East Renfrewshire, are moving forward.

As part of the initial steps in the planning process, a formal consultation has started to allow residents to have input into the final design of the centre.

All comments received as part of the process will be considered before a full planning application is submitted later this year.

The proposals for the new facility, which will be built in Eastwood Park, include a leisure centre, theatre, library and cultural facilities.

It is currently planned that the leisure centre could include a 50m pool, a 20m training pool, a family fun pool with flume, a six-court games hall, large gym area and four fitness studios.

Work is expected to begin in early 2022, with the new building being constructed at a site adjacent to the current facility. This will allow it to continue operating during the construction period, ensuring no major disruption to leisure provision until the new facility opens in 2024.
