Clarendon Leisure Centre Consultation

In the early hours of May 10th, 2024, we received the devastating news of a major fire that took place at Clarendon Leisure Centre leaving significant damage to the building and resulting in a full site closure. This came as devastating news for all of us at Salford Community Leisure and our colleagues at Salford City Council, as Clarendon Leisure Centre has provided essential sport and leisure opportunities for the local community for over 40 years.

Salford Community Leisure and Salford City Council have been working hard and looking to the future to identify the next steps for the centre, ensuring the community is at the heart of this decision making. The damage was considerable and negotiations with insurers are ongoing. Our goal is to make sure we get the best resolution to these negotiations and get the appropriate compensation to enable us to reinvest in facilities in the future. 

Our commitment remains to build a new facility on the already allocated land in Pendleton, our focus now is around understanding local needs, confirming costs, and identifying possible funding options we can access to hopefully help us make this a reality for the community. 

To support this, we want to gather feedback from local people about the impact of the closure of the centre, and to also get your ideas around possible future sport and leisure provision in the area. We welcome feedback from the community, so anyone who uses Clarendon Leisure Centre, please do get in touch and share your views. We will have future engagement events and consultation opportunities as we continue to work towards a resolution for the future of this facility.

Please take the one-minute survey to share your views.
