The redevelopment of Hartham Leisure Centre enters the net phase following the demolition of the western end of the building, enabling construction of the new extension to begin with recycled materials where possible.  The new building will feature additional studio space, a state of the art gym, new soft play facility and terrace style café opening out onto Hartham Common.  Brickwork from the demolition will be retained and reused as part of the landscape management of the development.  Other materials, including timber and steel will be sorted for reuse and recycling where possible.   Eric Buckmaster, executive member for wellbeing at East Herts District Council, who said: “The expansion and renovation of Hartham Leisure Centre will deliver new and improved facilities for residents and I am delighted we have reached this stage that will deliver some of the new and exciting aspects of the development including extra studio space, a state of the art gym, new soft play centre and a café.
