A Boost for the Local Community

Clay Cross Active is more than just a leisure centre – it’s a community hub. The centre will:

Provide new employment and volunteering opportunities
Attract visitors and boost the local economy
Offer inclusive and rehabilitation programmes for those recovering from illness or injury in the wellness suite
Serve as a key anchor in the Clay Cross Town Deal regeneration programme

North East Derbyshire District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Councillor, Kathy Rouse, said, “We are absolutely delighted to open Clay Cross Active – a facility that reflects our ambition to invest in our communities and support healthier, happier lives. This is a space for everyone, and we can’t wait to welcome you through the doors.”

She added, “The new centre is a game-changer for the district. It’s not just about coming here for fitness – it’s about community, a place to spend time as a family, whatever the weather and an opportunity to put Clay Cross on the map with all the fantastic developments in the town.”
