Uxbridge has long awaited
the arrival of a decent sports complex with proper facilities. Uxbridge lido has
had a turbulent existence but with some serious investment, this time we should
see a shiny new pool, clean with top facilities.
Some of the
past plans and links to Hillingdon Council are now dead so we aim to restore as
much of the information about the plans of this development.
Uxbridge lido is a refurbished multi-million
pound swimming and leisure complex with an Olympic-sized training pool.
Hillingdon has funded the 25-metre indoor pool, sports hall and
fitness centre. The complex is built next to the 1930's Uxbridge open air pool,
also being refurbished,
a grade 11 listed building.
