Places for People Leisure was awarded the contract for design, build operation and maintenance (DBOM) for the leisure centres of Epping Forest Council.

One of the leisure centres involved is the Waltham Abbey Leisure Centre, which Pellikaan built on the location of the former community centre. Therefore, the new centre also has a community room.

Other facilities in this design and build project include a 6 lane 25 meter pool, a learner pool with moveable floor and spectator seating, a gym and dance and spinning studios.the studio can be divided so two classes can take place at the same time, each with their own lighting, air handling, sound system etc.

A compact design was made for the limited space available and the centre has been designed with a green roof to complement the surrounding recreational ground.
