Many previous plans and proposals from Cheshire West and Chester Council to improve the facilities at the Library and Leisure Centre have been made. Now in partnership with Brio, support from the community and a recent £6m funding uplift, significant steps have been completed despite a backdrop of financial challenges for the local authority.
Ellis Williams Architects have completed detailed structural, drainage, mechanical and electrical studies, and undertaken design works. It is anticipated that a formal planning application will be submitted over the summer months and work will commence in spring 2027.
The vision for the redevelopment is to introduce a sustainable offer for leisure, health and wellbeing services across the A56 Corridor area, focusing on increasing participation and reducing health inequalities.
The proposals will create modern, vibrant and fit-for-purpose leisure, health and wellbeing facilities. This will be attached to the existing Sports Hall and Library. The aim is to create a fully accessible and welcoming space to build on the already strong levels of members and visitors.
Frodsham Library and Leisure Centre is essential to our community, offering a wide range of events and classes and use by a variety of clubs and groups. The new facilities are designed to meet the needs of existing visitors, customers and the wider community.
