North East Derbyshire District Council have approved plans for a new community hub with leisure centre.
The work should start early 2023 and is part of the £24.1m Clay Cross town Deal.
The new centre there will be a large fitness suite, sports hall, main pool and learner’s pool. Outside will be a full-sized floodlit pitch and walking and cycle rout around the park.

This year 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the building of the Swimming Baths on Shirley Park. The leisure centre sports hall was added later in the early 80s
