Charles Hill Centre, Loscoe
A topping-out ceremony has taken place for the new Charles Hill Centre, in Loscoe, which is replacing a former 1950s-built sports centre that fell into disrepair and closed more than a decade ago.
The closure forced local football teams to initially uproot and find other venues to host their home games. For the past three seasons, they have been utilising a temporary container changing room, which was far from sustainable. The topping-out event signifies the completion of structural and roof work and Amber Valley Borough Council now expects to open to members, users and the public by the end of January 2024.
The Charles Hill Centre, at Loscoe’s Charles Hill Sports Fields, off Flamstead Avenue, comprises a large community hall that can be subdivided for social functions, meetings and general community use, as well as changing rooms for sports teams and officials. Outside the large, glazed entrance doors will be a patio area with views over the extensive public recreation park and sports pitches.
