WORK is due to start next week on the demolition of Warrington’s historic baths to make way for a super new town centre health centre.
Contractors will move on to the site on Tuesday and demolition work will start almost immediately.
Construction of the new health centre is due to start on July 12 and the new building should be handed over to NHS Warrington in September next year.
The health centre should become operation during October or November next year.
Demolition of the existing Garven Place is due to start in November next year and additional car parking should be available by January 2013.

I hate our council.
no more you can say.
More history in Warrington destroyed. Joke.
what a load of cr#p this council is, they should be putting in a new public baths!!!!!!!! we all have a doctors we don’t need super centre’s, this is a lovely builing yet again being destroyed by our council.
How get the money made from selling all the old fixtures and fittingd? They belonged to the people of warrington!!!!!!
Sorry , Who got…
Another very poor decision by OUR Council. More history going under the demolition hammer. We all have a doctors centre and we don’t need a “Super Centre”, Another of this Town’s historic buildings going under the hammer. We certainly don’t need a “Super” Health Centre. Shame on this Council for not spending money to keep the historic Warrington Baths.
didnt there used to be a “historic” health center a 100 yards away !!!! “T’infirmary”
knocked down for “super new town court”…which we already had one of them too…
heres a suggestion…PRESERVE THE MAJESTIC OLD BUILDINGS, spend money on them, keep them safe so they don’t become dangerous..excel in the beauty and lost skills of old architecture..you know what they will be knocking down another historic building telling us we need a town center swimming center soon…IDIOTS !
I did my lifeguard training at Warrington baths in the 90’s. A beautiful and useful building that should’ve been saved and preserved for the community. It makes a mockery of the notion that the council are there to serve us, as this move is massively unpopular with most local people.
