Spiceball Park Leisure Centre

by alancollins

The new Leisure Centre at Spiceball Park opened in December 2009, replacing the old centre, which had problems over the years of being low lying and prone to flooding, which happened at least twice. The new centre cost £15,000,000 to construct and has already replaced the old centre which is being demolished. It has a 25m swimming pool as well as a training pool, squash courts, sports hall, sauna and steam rooms, and an air conditioned gym with numerous stations, and a café.

Parson Street make over

by alancollins

"Make over"

Banbury has had a recent make over in Parson Street and the Market Place which is nearly complete. This consists of making Parson Street and some of the Market Place a pedestrian zone. The road and pavements have been dug up and coloured blocks have replaced the tarmac. This will mean not having to listen to passing motorists who drove around the circuit with the windows wound down and the music turn up.
