Wates To Begin Building A New Leisure Centre In Coleshill
Wates Construction is preparing to commence construction of a brand new £4.2m leisure centre in Coleshill following its appointment to the project by North Warwickshire Borough Council.

Richard Scarrott, Operations Director for Wates Construction, commented: "We are delighted to have been appointed as North Warwickshire Borough Council’s contracting partner for Coleshill Leisure Centre. We have an excellent site team in place currently preparing for a prompt start to construction to ensure the new facility is delivered on time and on budget for the enjoyment of The Coleshill School and the wider community."
