Loughton Leisure Centre boiler upgrade
Loughton Leisure Centre has undergone a significant upgrade with replacing its boilers, ensuring improved energy efficiency and sustainability.
Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) was awarded £300,000 by Sport England last year through the swimming pool support fund to support vital energy-saving improvements.
This funding has enabled the installation of new energy-efficient boilers, helping to reduce the centre’s carbon footprint while maintaining a comfortable environment for users.
The investment is part of the EFDC’s wider commitment to sustainability, becoming carbon-neutral by 2030 and ensuring local leisure facilities remain modern, cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
Future generations to enjoy
Swimming pools and leisure centres are vital community resources and are enormously important in helping people to be physically active.
Sport England is proud of the role we play in supporting these facilities. The investment from the government’s swimming pool support fund at Loughton Leisure Centre will help improve energy efficiency and enable the centre to be more environmentally and financially sustainable so it remains available for future generations to enjoy.
