Cllr Mark A Kirk

Work is progressing on the new Baths Hall with asbestos removal and demolition work due today. I met with the Town ward councillors, Mashook Ali and Darrell Barkworth, plus the MP Elliot Morley, last week when we inspected the work to see how it was progressing.

The latest works will clear the site of all buildings except the original 1930s front that faces onto Doncaster Road in Scunthorpe. This part of the building is to be retained and incorporated into the new entertainment venue. All suitable parts of the removed buildings will be crushed and re-used on the site to fill the two former swimming pool areas. Immediately following this stage, work will commence on-site to remove contamination as a result of the sites former use as a gas works.

It is exciting to witness the Baths Hall developing and changing into the unique entertainment venue the council is committed to providing for the area. The new venue will cater for all audiences and will be a venue that residents of North Lincolnshire can be proud of.
