Meadowbank Sports Centre consultation launched
November 11 2016
Incorporating a 400m running track and a 500 capacity stand the centre will be part funded via a sell-off of council owned land with a portion of the site also being reserved for affordable housing under the 21st Century Homes initiative.
Facilities will also include games halls, studios, a gym, athletics track and café.
In a statement the council said: “The Council needs to understand and consider all the needs and views expressed by people regarding the proposed new development. We will use your comments to help inform the planning application.”
Comments are invited on the proposal through to 31 December.

Promising scheme. No mention of who the architects are?

The previous scheme was much better. This looks like a blinged up shed you might see in a retail park. Really poor lack of design ambition.
I can only assume the previous superior proposal was shelved due to cost. Very disappointing.

Agree with Basho. Still that area is practically a gap site. Something needs done; it's just the previous proposal was better.

Architects are Holmes Miller. Architects of the previous, much better proposal was Reiach + Hall.
You get what you pay for - and for 2% fees you get a shiny shed from a commercial architect, not another excellent regional sports facility from the best architects in the country.
