Image: A 25m main pool forms part of the plansThe London Borough of Hounslow has launched a public consultation to gather views from local residents and user groups on its plans for a £15m redevelopment of Heston Pool.
At the centre of the plans is the provision of an improved leisure centre with a wider range of activities, while the proposed new Heston Leisure Centre will also be more energy efficient.
Facilities will comprise a 25m main pool and a learner pool, as well as new single sex health suites with a steamroom and sauna; a 100-station fitness suite; and two dance studios.
Heston Pool was first opened during the 1930s and Hounslow Council cabinet member for leisure Pritam Grewal said the scheme was "hugely important" to the area.
"The current leisure centre is in need of new equipment and redevelopment, as it is no longer cost-effective and unable to compete with more modern centres," said Grewal.
