HALL CONSTRUCTION NETS NEW CONTRACT
 

Greenbank has awarded a further major contract on its multi-million pound Leigh Sports Village at Pennington Park, near Wigan.

Durham-based Hall Construction Services Ltd has won the £17.5 m contract to build a 10,000 capacity sports stadium. The stadium will be used by all the major sporting clubs in the town including Leigh RMI Football Club, Leigh Centurions Rugby League Club and Leigh Harriers Athletic Club.

The stadium will also be used for key amateur and schools fixtures as well as for local community events. The building includes extensive hospitality and banqueting facilities along with new offices and commercial areas. A new access road with car parking and infrastructure will also be provided.

The year long contract is due to start in spring 2007.

Leigh Sports Village at Pennington Park is a partnership between developers Greenbank and Wigan MBC, along with Wigan & Leigh College. The development will be the focal point for all sports leisure activities in Leigh, providing a wide range of activities – including swimming, athletics, football and rugby – within an accessible, pleasant and green environment.

As well as the sports stadium, Leigh Sports Village will include a new sixth-form college, running track, swimming pool and gym, a 150-room 4 star hotel, high quality offices and retail facilities, including a cinema.

Construction work on the site got under way at the beginning of 2006 and the second phase including the new stadium is due for completion in 2008.
