Chiltern District Council<\/a> has appointed BAM Construction<\/a> as the preferred bidder for its Chiltern Lifestyle Centre in Amersham<\/h2>\n

Work on the \u00a336m Chiltern Lifestyle Centre is set to commence towards the end of November. It will open by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

The scheme includes a 25-metre swimming pool, sports hall, dry diving training facility, squash courts, climbing wall, gym, and community centre, among others.<\/p>\n

BAM is finalising the contract with Chiltern District Council, and is currently operating under a pre-construction agreement. The Chiltern Lifestyle Centre project was procured competitively under the Southern Construction Framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The current leisure facilities<\/a> are over 50 years old and are in urgent need of repair. The old buildings will be demolished and Amersham library has been temporarily re-located.<\/p>\n

“These are important changes for local people and we fully appreciate the need to go about our work considerately and respectfully. How we build has always been as important to BAM as what we build.”<\/span><\/p>\n

– BAM\u2019s construction director Mick Kelly<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mike Stannard, deputy leader of Chiltern District Council, commented: \u201cAfter so many years of planning, it is fantastic that we are finally at the stage where work is starting on site. This is a major development and our priority is to ensure minimal impact on residents, pool users and staff while the work takes place.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as the Chiltern Lifestyle Centre, Chiltern District Council\u2019s is also investing in the Chalfont St Peter and Chesham leisure centres, improving the range of facilities and services available.<\/p>\n

Kelly added: \u201cWhen we started trading the camera had not been invented and goods were moved around by horse and cart.<\/p>\n

“Nowadays, we are cleaner, safer, and stablemen have been replaced by hydrogen vehicles, virtual reality engineers and drone pilots. It\u2019s quite an exciting place to work.”<\/p>\n
