The existing facility was built in 1977 and although it has had some refurbishment over a number of years it is no longer fit for purpose and does not deliver the quality of experience you would expect form a modern Leisure Centre.

The revenue position will improve compared with the existing facility both in terms of energy efficiency and sales income.
