The last external piece of a new carbon-efficient leisure centre building in Nottinghamshire has been put in place, marking a milestone moment for national contractor Willmott Dixon.

The leading construction firm was awarded £16m project earlier this year, courtesy of part funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), to develop Bingham Arena and Enterprise Centre in Nottinghamshire on behalf Rushcliffe Borough Council.

Willmott Dixon and other partners of the project joined with the council on Friday 10 December to see council leader, Simon Robinson, lay the final part in the fabric of the new two-storey leisure centre building.

This part of the site is now ready for a carbon efficient plant to be installed in the new year, which will then power its 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool with spectator seating and teaching pool.

The overall development will reduce carbon emissions by 78% compared to other leisure centres in the borough and by 82% for similar office developments.
