DENGIE’S sports centre will be officially reopened on Thursday.

Maldon District Council has invested around £500,000 to enable the refurbishment and improvements to the centre which include a fitness suite, sports hall and changing rooms and ancillary facilities.

The Dengie Hundred Sports Centre will be officially re-opened by Peter Elliott, Chairman of Maldon District Council, and Ron Pratt, the Chairman of the District Council’s Community Services Committee.

Mr Pratt said: “The re-opening of the Dengie Hundred Sports Centre is the final part of our investment in our leisure facilities in the District in partnership with our contractor Places for People Management Ltd.

“The much needed refurbishments which have been completed will ensure that the Dengie Hundred Sports Centre is able to continue to offer the users the best possible facilities for Burnham-on-Crouch and surrounding area.”
