Progress is being made on the development of a new, top-of-the-line leisure centre in the city’s western region, which is set to replace the old King Alfred centre. Since the fall of 2022, council officials have been actively searching for and evaluating potential sites for this new facility. They have also been in consultation with numerous local residents, current centre users, and members of various sports clubs.

After thoroughly examining over 20 sites, both privately and publicly owned, two locations have emerged as viable options for the new leisure centre. The first is the site of the existing King Alfred Leisure Center, and the second is an area near Sainsbury’s car park, located at the intersection of Old Shoreham Road and the A293.
