Ambition Arnold

The council is developing a bold, long-term vision for Arnold town centre through the Ambition Arnold programme, which includes proposals to transform the Arnold Leisure Centre and the Bonington Theatre into modern, high-quality facilities that support culture, wellbeing and economic vibrancy. While funding has not yet been secured for this project, the council is exploring opportunities to attract investment and is seeking the views of local communities to help shape the vision.

To support the vision, we have the Ambition Arnold Summary Pack that explains the key points and updates of the vision.
