Valley Centre
The Soar Valley Leisure Centre opened on the 31st July 2004 after many
years effort and much hard work by the Mountsorrel-Rothley Swimming Pool
Association, Mountsorrel Parish Council, the memorial Hall Committee, Charnwood
Borough Council, Sport England and local developers. Construction began
in May 2003 on the Leisure Centre at Mountsorrel and has been finished within
its £6m budget.
The Centre is the Council's largest project for 30 years and it greatly
improves the sporting facilities in the southern part of the Borough, which
previously has been rather neglected. Major new housing development has
taken place in the Soar Valley villages in the last twenty years. The Soar
Valley Leisure Centre provides leisure facilities close to where people live
and to meet the needs of the existing and growing populations of Barrow,
Mountsorrel, Quorn, Rothley and Sileby.
The Centre was opened on Saturday 13 November 2004 as part of the British
Legion Annual Service of Remembrance. The Memorial Playing Fields and Memorial
Hall Charities, which contributed to the funding, were formed following the
First and Second World Wars respectively in memory of the gallant men of
Mountsorrel who lost their lives and were created to provide for the recreational
and community needs of future generations.
The Centre is run by SERCO, the operators of the Browns Lane Centre in Loughborough,
on behalf of the Charnwood Borough Council. Facilities include:
- 25m Swimming Pool
