The old changing rooms at Kings Lane in Englefield Green are set to be demolished following concerns raised by residents during a recent consultation about the future of the site.
The building is no longer fit for purpose, and its deteriorating condition has raised concerns about public safety, particularly due to unauthorised access and anti-social behaviour.
The Council previously considered whether the building could be kept and refurbished, but this was found not to be a suitable option.
Demolishing the changing rooms will help address residents' concerns while the Council continues to develop its longer-term plans for new leisure and community facilities at Kings Lane.
Cllr Robert King, Co-Leader of Runnymede Borough Council, said: “Kings Lane has been neglected for years. The old pavilion is boarded up, covered in graffiti and attracting anti-social behaviour, and residents tell us they no longer use the site.
“Taking it down now removes that risk straight away and clears the way for the new community facilities Englefield Green deserves.”
