Demolition works to begin at former beach leisure centre

25 September 2025

The demolition of the former beach leisure centre will begin next week. Preparations are already under way with part of an external wall removed to allow specialist machinery access into the building.

Site operatives will strip out internal fixtures and fittings and dismantle the swimming pool external flumes. Solar panels on the roof will be removed and retained for reuse or recycling.

Work will then begin on removing the former gym hall and the link bridge to the Beach Ballroom before the main demolition works begin.

Most of the demolition should be completed before Christmas and the site will be cleared in early 2026.

The Linx Ice Arena will be open as normal, and the demolition works will not affect any part of its operation.
