Richard Herrod Centre Demolition | Nottingham News

The Richard Herrod Centre, a beloved Gedling landmark that once hosted a dry ski slope and served as a pandemic vaccination hub, is set for demolition to make way for a $30 million “Carlton Active” complex. The new facility will feature an eight-lane pool, gym, community spaces, and a cafe—but notably, no indoor bowls, sparking outrage among the 300-member bowls club worried about relocation costs and health impacts. Demolition begins September 28, 2026, with completion by late 2026, as the council defends the move citing $2 million in needed repairs and unsustainable subsidies, calling the new center a vital investment—even as critics question the cost and exclusion of key amenities.
