Things are going from strength to strength at the leisure centre since being saved from the Labour-run council’s attempt to close it. The new gym – funded from local Lib Dem councillors neighbourhood budgets is proving a real pull. There were nearly 30 members in the combat class this evening. Member numbers are strong and the outlook is good.

There is an offer at the moment. If you join this month you get 2 months free !! pop in for more information. the £10 a month offer for under 16’s is also doing well.

I am investigating some question marks about future ownership and running of leisure centres run by the council, but on the face of it it looks like Abbey is doing very well.
