🚗 Leisure Centre Parking

As work continues on the electric vehicle hub at Hinckley Leisure Centre car park, a number of parking spaces are unavailable while contractors carry out essential works.

We appreciate that this is a popular car park so as an additional option while the work is under way, leisure centre members can now park in any council-run Hinckley town centre car park, displaying a valid permit as usual.

Please park considerately and avoid causing an obstruction in nearby residential streets.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while these improvements are completed.
