Overview
The Marple Hub project is being supported by a £20 million grant from the Capital Levelling Up Fund, with the development also set to include active travel and highways improvements in the local area.
The project will involve constructing a new community hub in Marple. The hub will contain:
- a library
- a 5-lane swimming pool
- a small café
- a 60-station fitness suite
- the relocated Marple Clinic
Following the granting of planning permission after a long consultation process, Marple’s existing police station, library and a health clinic will be demolished to make way for the new community hub with all of those uses retained on the site.
The library and clinic will be relocated to the new complex with the police relocated to Hollins House.
The scheme will also replace the village’s previous swimming pool which closed in 2018 due to health and safety issues with the building.
