Proposed closure


In February 2021, after COVID closures, with the facility (particularly the pool area)[1] falling into disrepair ("...plans to reopen the pool safely were found to “involve significant cost”, which is said to be a key factor in keeping the facility closed, and in forming plans to eventually replace it."), a plan by the council has been approved to demolish the centre to make way for educational facilities.[2]
