A new coffee shop, improved GP facilities and an adventure golf course are among proposed changes to improve leisure facilities – and the plans will go on show next week.

Residents in Sheerness will be given the chance to have their say about the transformation of the Healthy Living Centre at Beachfields, as part of the town’s £20 million Sheerness Revival Project.

The scheme’s aim is to create new job opportunities, while improving the health and wellbeing and education and leisure facilities on the Island.

It is being funded by the government’s Levelling Up Fund.

The draft plans for the centre will be on show from 4pm to 8pm on Wednesday, April 24.

They include improved leisure facilities such as soft play, an adventure gold course, and new coffee shop – as well as an expansion and refurbishment to the gym.

Alliance Leisure will be displaying the draft plans on behalf of Swale council.

They also include improvements to the outside of the Healthy Living Centre and changes to the interior layout to make better use of the space.

The GP facilities in the centre could be moved and improved to offer people better access to quality healthcare.

Cllr Monique Bonney, chair of the council’s economy and property committee, said: “We want the Sheerness Revival project to deliver real improvements to people’s lives on the Island.

“These plans look to improve the current healthcare facilities at the centre and make them easier for people to get to by moving them to a better location in the building.

“Improving the gym facilities will help encourage more people to get fit and stay healthy, and the new soft play and Tag Active will offer a fun way to get active for grown-ups and kids.

Cllr Bonney also said she wanted to make the building a “more attractive” place to visit with family and friends and urged people to see the plans for themselves and share their views.

“Once we’ve got this feedback, we can review the plans and get ready to submit them for planning permission,” she added.

When the plans were first revealed there was disappointment from some who said they did not go far enough.

For example, many people had called for the swimming pool to receive a long overdue revamp.

Last month East Kent College (EKC) unveiled its plans for the Sheppey College extension, which have been submitted for planning permission.

Masters House in Trinity Road, which is already providing a space to support and guide young people through the process of starting their own businesses, will also see extra business units created to support small businesses.
