East Riding Council has announced the transformation of the Goole Hub is set to take its next steps.

The Council has selected building firm Willmott Dixon as the preferred contractor, with preparatory works set to start in October.

The new and improved Goole Hub will provide enhanced leisure facilities and residents will be able to try their hand at bowling as the new facility will include a bowling alley.

It is hoped the site will be completed and open to the public by the summer of 2026. The Goole Town Deal will be contributing £3.372 million of their £25 million budget to the Goole Hub project.

Phil Jones, Chair of the Goole Town Deal Board, said: "The Goole Town Deal Board has allocated a share of the town’s £25 million in Town Deal funding towards the development of East Riding Leisure Goole because we see it as an important anchor destination within the town centre that, alongside the seven other strategic projects that we’ve chosen to fund, will help to increase footfall and boost the local economy."

He continued: "This exciting project will transform the venue into a truly modern community hub with a vastly enhanced leisure offer for local people of all ages. We’re delighted to see it progressing."

While the facility is closed, the council will continue to offer gym facilities, group exercise classes, and health programmes, at the Goole College site on Boothferry Road.

Councillor Nick Coultish, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure, and Tourism said: "This project reflects the East Riding of Yorkshire Council's commitment to invest in Goole and to fostering a vibrant, active, and healthy community. I look forward to seeing the renewed Goole Hub, and all the fantastic facilities it will provide."
