WORK has begun on the latest phase of a five-year £10m scheme to transform a children’s outdoor activity centre.
Construction firm James Carroll Ltd have embarked on the second phase of a project to refurbish a North Wales activity centre used by generations of Liverpool youngsters.
Work began on renovating the centre 12 months ago when six barracks-style huts were converted into new en-suite accommodation at a cost of £1.1m.
Now they are turning their attention to a refurbishment of the centre’s five three-storey tower blocks at a total cost of £600,000.
The five tower blocks house 70 guests each with the first contingent due to move in to the first tower in February.
Carrolls managing director James Carroll said: “It is a race against time to get everything ready.”
The centre will be able to cater for up to 500 children at a time from all over the UK.
Facilities now include three huge climbing and abseiling towers, high and low rope activities, an adrenaline giant swing, a tree-top aerial course and a monster 200 metre zip wire.
