Works are underway
Preparation works on the main Streatham Hub site ahead of construction began in August 2011.
Construction is due to be completed towards the end of 2013.
You can view the latest exhibition of the up to date plans here.
A new temporary ice rink on Brixton Station Road in Brixton is now open. Further information on opening times and prices can be found at www.brixtonicerink.co.uk.
The temporary ice rink makes sure of continuity of ice facilities in Lambeth as part of the Streatham Hub development. The rink will be decommissioned in 2013 by which time works on the main Streatham Hub site will have been completed.
Ice hockey matches, ice dance practice and public skating will all be possible at the temporary rink which will operate from a site next to Brixton Recreation Centre for up to two and a half years. There will also be an additional temporary car park in Brixton for the duration of the temporary ice rink's existence on the corner of Buckner Road and Porden Road. A map of where to park in Brixton can be found on our Parking web pages.
A planning application for the temporary ice rink submitted by Tesco was approved by the Planning Applications Committee on 2 February 2011, along with an associated application to vary the original section 106 agreement for the Streatham Hub. Documentation for the committee meeting is available.
Future Streatham leisure facilities
The fantastic new leisure facilities will include a 60m by 30m ice rink with approximately 1,000 spectator seats, alongside a new sports and leisure centre providing:
- a 25m, 6-lane swimming pool
- a 13m learner pool
- a 4-court sports hall
- a health and fitness suite with space to accommodate around 100 machines.
Streatham leisure centre had to close on 25 November 2009 due to health and safety concerns. A full structural survey identified that it would cost more the £3 million for the centre to re-open whilst the hub was being built. In March 2010, the council's Cabinet recommended that the centre be closed permanent pending the development of the new facilities.
