Leisure Review

As has been reported in the press recently the rulling Lib-Dem Council has come up with proposals for leisure within wrexham. Contary to the press articles the leisure centre in Plas Madoc is not closing. What is under threat is the Leisure Pool. The reason this is under threat is because it is thirty years old, leaking and costs too much to run. Also the rest of the leisure centre building needs a new roof and boiler room. To pay for this the Lib-Dems are proposing to close the pool.
The sports council for wales produced a report which stated that if all improvements including those to the pool were not carried out within the next five years then the centre would have to close. So the option we have is either close the pool or the entire leisure centre.

This Lib-Dem council should honour its commitments to Plas Madoc as a Communities First area and spend some money it puts into balances every year to provide a leisure centre which the people of Plas Madoc and the Borough can be proud of.
