CLEETHORPES Leisure Centre's changing rooms are to undergo a £635,000 revamp.

The work will see a major overhaul to the existing poolside changing rooms by introducing a modern layout that meets Sport England's latest guidelines.

The refurbishment has been made possible by a £317,000 National Lottery grant, with the rest of the money coming from North East Lincolnshire Council's capital budget.

The Sport England grant is part of a £9.9-million investment, which will see 38 artificial grass pitches and swimming pool changing rooms refurbished across the country.

The announcement comes after last year's £150,000 Sport England grant to refurbish King George V Stadium, in Grimsby.

The designs for the new changing rooms at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, which is used by thousands of swimmers every year, were drawn up in consultation with leisure centre customers.

The facility, which is part of the council's leisure portfolio, is now managed by Lincs Inspire Ltd, a non-profit organisation set up by the council to run leisure services in the borough.

Refurbishment work is set to be carried out at the end of this year.

Councillor Mick Burnett, portfolio holder for tourism and culture, said: "Swimming is one of the most popular sports in our borough so we're thrilled that our bid to create a new poolside changing village at Cleethorpes has been successful.

"This investment will bring the changing rooms bang up-to-date with a family-friendly layout, cubicles with baby changing, better facilities for disabled people and individual shower cubicles.

"The new changing rooms will encourage more people to take up sport and make full use of the excellent leisure facilities we have in North East Lincolnshire."
