Pellikaan Construction Ltd announced last week, on the 22nd June, that they have signed an contract with Merton Council for a new development. The agreement that has been made between Merton Council and Pellikaan will result in the construction of the a new family leisure centre. The construction work that has been agreed upon will be located in Morden.

Last week, Gert-Jan Peeters and Richard van Emmerik, the company directors for Pellikaan signed the contract on behalf of the company and the director of environment and regeneration for Merton Council, Chris Lee signed the contract on behalf of the council. The signing of the contract took place in the civic centre in Morden and a welcome party was also held in order  to welcome the Construction Company to the borough.

Pellikaan first started operating in 1947 and their construction expertise lie in the design and building of sports and leisure buildings. The work on the family leisure centre planned for Morden is set to start at some point in the next month. It is thought that the work on Morden Leisure Centre will be finished in autumn next year. Pelikaan has managed to build up a wealth of experience by constructing leisure centers and sports buildings all around the UK as well as in other countries.

The construction work has been planned to make sure that the current Pool in Morden will be staying operational until the new family-friendly leisure centre is open. This means that the residents of Morden will have access to a range of different leisure facilities while the work is taking place. After the work has been completed the site for the exiting Morden Park Pool will be transformed into open green space.

Pellikaan have said that the project they are now involved in is a great way to transform the facilities on offer as well as allowing the construction company the opportunity to deliver a modern unit that will offer family friendly leisure space for everyone living in the borough.
