Work begins on Alloa wellbeing hub

Work is underway on a major project in Alloa.

The new £71 million Wellbeing Hub and Lochies School is expected to be completed by 2027.

It's hoped around 275,000 people will visit the facility every year.

It will include swimming pools, fitness suites, games hall, soft play and a wellbeing park.

The development is located just a mile west of Alloa town centre at the Pavilions.

Councillor Graham Lindsay, spokesperson for People, said: “It’s so pleasing, and in many ways, quite emotional to see the full construction phase well underway.
“This project is our biggest infrastructure investment in over 40 years and is a direct investment in the health and wellbeing of our residents.
“These extremely high-quality, and high energy efficiency facilities will serve the whole community, giving people a place to learn, be active and connect socially.
“The Wellbeing Hub and Lochies School will significantly improve lives for generations to come, and I look forward to watching this exciting development progress over the coming months.”
