PLANS for a state of the art health and leisure club at the home of Worcester Warriors have moved one step closer.
The club has now exchanged contracts with MD (Worcester) Ltd to build a David Lloyd Leisure Club at Sixways, behind the Slick Systems stand, and close to Pershore Lane.
Th club will boast eight tennis courts, an outdoor and indoor pool, gymnasium, sauna, spa and steam room, as well as a bar and two children’s play areas.
Charlie Little, managing director at Warriors, said: "Exchanging contracts is another pivotal milestone in the Sixways project and the fruition of a lot of hard work over the last five years. We start the new rugby season on the front foot both on and off the field and this news is extremely positive and exciting for everyone connected with the club.
"The site already has planning consent, dating back to the Park and Ride and infrastructure development of 2006, and a new planning application has now gone into the local authority with any alterations. We now look forward to continuing our work with all parties to ensure this project is successful.
"Our ambition is to be a key destination hub in the region and this development has been part of our long-term plan. A David Lloyd Leisure Club will see thousands of members pass right past our stadium and we would hope many will visit the rest of the complex and support the Warriors."
