Town Clerk Report

This year has brought a whole new vision to my role, working in partnership with Active Nation to provide the new facility he re at Elm Park.

The new Active Nation Filton facility promises to be a modern well being hub which will provide residents with access to a wide range of sports and fitness activities. From swimming and gym facilities to group fitness classes, the centre is set to become a new hub for healthy living in the community.

With the completion of the structural steel work, the project is on track for completion in Jan 2024. This news has been met with great enthusiasm by residents and customers who are eagerly anticipating the opening of the new facility.

As the project moves forward, we can all look forward to enjoying a top class well being hub in our area.

The construction has brought many challenges along the way and we would really like to express our gratitude to all the loyal customers who have backed the project along the way.
