Photovoltaic Solar Panels Installed At Hucknall Leisure Centre

Photovoltaic Solar Panels have been installed at Hucknall Leisure Centre to help create a free sustainable source of energy to heat the new swimming pool.

The installation marks a milestone in the regeneration of Hucknall Leisure Centre along with the extra training pool set to open in the coming months following a £5 million investment. The project is part of Ashfield District Council's wider aim to reduce the carbon output across the Council, with its services and with its working partners.

We will continue to strive for innovation, regeneration and transformation for Hucknall."
