Brigg leisure development officially opens after £1 million transformation

Ancholme Leisure Centre in Brigg opens to the public on Thursday 14 August after undergoing a major £1 million transformation.

MP Andrew Percy will officially open the Centre and unveil a plaque to mark the occasion on Thursday 14 August at 2pm.

Work started in February 2014 to transform the leisure centre and included a new sauna and steam room, refurbishment of the café and changing facilities.

The gym will be closed for one day on Tuesday 12 August 2014 to make way for the new equipment being installed.

Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for customer services, sport and leisure at North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The improvements to Ancholme Leisure Centre are fantastic and really have to be seen.

“I’m confident visitors will appreciate the hard work gone in over the last few months to update and transform it. Not least we now have a much larger fitness suite which will be a real benefit and will enable more people to use the gym and keep fit.

“Ancholme leisure centre is a popular place for people to go and the new facilities will make a big difference to the customer experience. Together with the self-serve kiosk and café area and changing facilities, we have brought the centre completely up-to-date and much easier to use.”
