A Community Led Future
For Our Leisure Centre?
3 Halls, Softplay, Conservatory cafe, Warehouse and 12 Rooms.
The provision of the new Lasswade Centre means that Midlothian Council no longer requires Bonnyrigg Lesuire Centre which is situated in George V Park.
Ordinarily, this building would have been sold on but due to an unusual legal restriction the building cannot be sold for commercial gain.
This presents an unprecedented opportunity for the residents of Bonnyrigg as there is the possibility that the centre can be transferred into community ownership and be run by the community, for the community.
Does this sound like something the residents of Bonnyrigg would like?
Is there the need and desire and enthusiasm for a community run space where various groups within Bonnyrigg could meet and share time together?
Are there enough passionate people in Bonnyrigg to see an empty building transformed into a community hub?
We, Bonnyrigg and Lasswade Community Council, feel this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Bonnyrigg and we want to create a space to find out if local residents agree.
We are beginning a community consultation by inviting you to the building on Sunday 13th October where there will be tours of the available space and the opportunity to share your ideas. It is designed for the whole family to drop in between 10am and 4pm.
