David Lloyd Leisure has submitted plans for a brand-new club at Wirral Waters, one of the country’s largest regeneration projects.

The proposed club, which will create up to 100 new jobs upon completion, marks a significant step in the development of the area and forms part of David Lloyd’s ongoing expansion strategy.

The planning application has been officially submitted to Wirral Council, with the proposed site located in Peel Waters’ Bidston Dock site off Wallasey Bridge Road, in the heart of the Wirral Waters regeneration area.

Covering a six acres, the new club will offer a wide range of facilities, including:

• Three weather-protected tennis courts
• Six canopy-covered padel courts – making it the biggest padel facility on the Wirral
• Heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools
• An indoor spa and an outdoor spa garden
• A sports hall with two indoor courts
• A new state of the art gym
• A children’s play area
• A vibrant cafe lounge

In addition to the anticipated 100 jobs once the club is open, the construction phase is expected to generate around 60 jobs, offering further employment opportunities to the local community.

The Wirral Waters site is part of a broader strategy to accelerate new club openings across the country, with additional sites recently confirmed in Gloucestershire and Buckinghamshire.

Richard Mawdsley, director of development at Wirral Waters, says: “Having a market leading operator like David Lloyd Leisure bringing world-class facilities to Wirral Waters is hugely exciting and a real game-changer for the area.

“David Lloyd’s commitment to sustainability and the jobs they will create for local people also make them an ideal development partner. We have long term plans to create a leisure-led, mixed-use destination in the Bidston area, and this is just the start.”

Stuart Caswell, new clubs acquisition director at David Lloyd Leisure, adds: “We are delighted to be part of the future for Wirral Waters. Our plan is to construct a state-of-the-art health and wellness Club that not only enhances the area and creates a range of new jobs and opportunities for the local community, but also reflects the needs of people living in the area”.
