The contractors will retain the old brickwork and re-use it as part of the landscape management of the development. Other materials, including timber and steel will be sorted for re-use and recycling where possible.
Visiting the site before the front of the old building was completely demolished was Eric Buckmaster, executive member for wellbeing at East Herts District Council, who said:
“The expansion and renovation of Hartham Leisure Centre will deliver new and improved facilities for residents and I am delighted we have reached this stage that will deliver some of the new and exciting aspects of the development including extra studio space, a state of the art gym, new soft play centre and a café.
“Like most major projects, this one hasn’t been without its issues and delays, but the hard work and perseverance of all of those involved has kept those impacts to the minimum and we are now on track to fully complete the project by Summer 2023.”
Further information on the re-development of Hartham Leisure Centre can be found on our website.
