All the Latest on the Seymour Leisure Centre Re-Development

Latest Update on Seymour Redevelopment

We just wanted to keep you in the loop on the Seymour leisure centre redevelopment. Since closing, works have been proceeding as planned, with daily activity on the site.

What has happened and next steps

  • Completion of a number of essential surveys: These needed to conducted prior to any construction work commencing due to the nature of the project and the condition of the building. The decision to close the site was due to the fact that some of these surveys such as intrusive asbestos surveys and intrusive structural surveys require adequate time and full site access to be completed correctly.
  • Agreement of construction contract: Details are currently being finalised with a view to commence with the main construction work on site in July
  • Agreement of details and scope of work: The results of the surveys have determined the extent of the required enabling/preparation works. The scope has now been finalised and the Council is aiming to start this element prior to July.  Residents may notice some internal and external construction activity next month in order to ensure that the site is ready to start the main construction activity in July.

You can keep up with all the latest developments on the project by signing up for the Seymour Newsletter and our engagement platform (Commonplace) for all future updates.

Know Ball Games Pilot Consultation - Results and Recommendations

Westminster City Council is committed to ensuring that its streets, parks and spaces encourage and enable physical activity, particularly for children and families.

To encourage play, we are planning to pilot some work, which includes the removal of restrictive signage and by laws such as ‘No Ball Games’ and ‘No Cycling’ across the following estates: Churchill Gardens, Hallfield Estate, Queens Park Court and Queens Park Street.

Following community engagement which took place towards the back end of 2023 we are pleased to present the final findings and recommendations which can be found at Know Ball Games In Westminster Consultation – Commonplace

Summary of findings

These are the key things that were of importance to you:
  • Replacing ‘no ball games’ signs with signposting signage of where play should take place, alongside supervised programmed activity
  • Interventions to tackle anti-social behaviour also and protecte green areas in line with Westminster City Council’s Ecological Emergency.

The next stage – Phase 5 Consultation on Pilot Signage Designs

Following on from the above we now want to engage with residents on the new signage design, programming ideas and how tackling anti-social behaviour and the Ecological Emergency agenda aligns with this. Your views matter.

To begin this process, from Tuesday 28th May 2024 we will be launching design ideas for residents to comment on via an online survey and we encourage all residents to provide feedback. We will also be hosting drop-in sessions with the Sport, Leisure and Active Communities and Housing teams in each area where you can share your comments in person.
