Construction News Image
Clegg Construction has completed a new sports and community centre in Oakham, Rutland.

Works on the £700,000 facility includes upgrading the existing steel framed building and developing a new sports hall along with changing rooms.

The redevelopment also included providing new facilities for females.

The scheme is the first to be delivered by Clegg through the East Midlands Property Alliance (empa) framework.

The aim of empa, managed by Scape, is to improve the procurement and delivery of construction projects and property maintenance for public sector bodies.

Ross Crowcroft, pre-construction director at Clegg, said: "We’re thrilled to have completed this scheme in Rutland which will boost the community sports facilities available for members of the public.

"We were delighted to be working as an empa partner and are pleased to see our first scheme completed as part of the framework and open for use."

Lewis Hopcroft, project manager at Rutland County Council, said: "Clegg Construction’s work included installing a high performance sports floor, reducing the need for regular maintenance.

"The improved facilities will give us whole-life cost savings, helping us to provide community sports more efficiently for years to come.

"This project is part of the wider redevelopment of the site and provides another publically funded sports facility for Oakham, catering for a wide variety of sports, including the likes of boccia and dodgeball."

The hub will be officially opened by Princess Anne as part of a royal visit to Rutland on 20th July.
