Councillors are due to discuss plans to demolish Splashes Sports Centre next month.

Medway Council's Cabinet is due to consider recommendations to demolish the Rainham centre, before further plans are brought forward to create a new modern family-friendly sports centre on the site.

The cabinet will look at the plan on Tuesday, 8 June, and if approved councillors will consider another report on the redevelopment of the site in due course.

The council says the redevelopment aims to create a centre which offers fun family-friendly activities and will complement sessions held at Medway’s other sports centres.

Cllr Howard Doe, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Community Services, said: “I will be recommending that Cabinet approves the demolition of Splashes Sports Centre on Tuesday, June 8, to ensure that we can continue with our exciting plans for future development on the site. We are committed to providing even better leisure facilities for families across Medway, and further afield, to enjoy. Our plans to redevelop the centre also support Medway’s aspiration to become a Child-Friendly City, putting children and young people at the heart of everything we do.”
