During the pre-construction phase, which runs until August 2026, Willmott Dixon will undertake detailed site surveys, logistics planning and site set-up works. The company will also conduct an asbestos survey of Regan's Bar ahead of its demolition later this year, while ensuring the existing Cascades Leisure Centre remains operational throughout construction.
