Richard Herrod Centre Demolition | Nottingham News

The Richard Herrod Centre in Carlton is set for demolition to make way for a brand-new £30 million leisure hub called ‘Carlton Active’, sparking controversy as the iconic venue — once home to a dry ski slope and the Gedling Indoor Bowls Club — shuts down without a replacement for its 300+ members. Despite the bowls club’s vital role and community ties, the council’s decision to exclude indoor bowls from the new facility has ignited backlash, with critics calling the project a risky gamble with taxpayer funds — especially as local government changes loom. Demolition is scheduled to begin September 28, 2026, with completion by late 2026. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
