In June 2025, the Council approved a project for the removal of the Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) within Bells Sports Centre, and associated condition surveys. These surveys will help us understand the building's current condition and plan for its future refurbishment.
We can now confirm that the survey works are planned to begin on site towards the end of 2025, and together with the removal of the RAAC from the building, are expected to take around six to eight months to complete.
These works mark the first phase of a much larger project considering the future of the building, with further engagement with key stakeholders, and the wider local community, to follow.
A secure construction site will be set up at Bells' Sports Centre, with fencing and hoarding in place for public safety and clear signage for public access routes around the site. The inside of Bell's Sports Centre remains closed.
To help visitors to the North Inch and nearby surrounding areas during the works, temporary public toilets will be installed in the park outside the current entrance of Bells Sports Centre.
