Decarbonisation Project
The refurbishment of Askern Leisure Centre was not just about updating infrastructure but also about enhancing community well-being.
The centre re-opened in February 2023 and the £6m investment in the centre has seen the old coal heating system replaced with a more environmentally friendly and sustainable water heating solution, as well a new roof, windows, and doors to make the venue more energy efficient.
You can read here how the country’s last coal-fired leisure centre was developed into a wellbeing centre for the local community, integrated within a country park and powered by green energy
