Plans for new pools at Rivermead and Palmer Park given green light

A new leisure centre, with a 25 metre, eight-lane competition pool, will replace Rivermead Leisure Complex. A 25 metre, six-lane community pool and gym will also be built at Palmer Park Stadium. Both projects were approved by the Reading Borough Council’s Planning Applications Committee on Wednesday, March 31. The council says construction will begin in the summer and it is aiming to open the new pools in “early 2023”. Both will be run by Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL). When the council closed Arthur Hill Swimming Pool in 2016, it was aiming to open a replacement pool at Palmer Park within four years. Rivermead Leisure Complex, which opened in 1988, will be demolished after the new two-storey leisure centre is built.

Camden Council on GLL Better gyms contract after Unite call | Hampstead Highgate Express

GLL, which trades as Better, has lost £170m in revenue - Credit: Greenwich Leisure Ltd Camden Council says it will consider new ways of running leisure centres once the pandemic is over – including bringing sports facilities in-house. The town hall signed a 10-year contract worth £18.9m with Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL) last January to run the borough’s gyms, but the council says it will reassess its leisure services once the full impact of Covid becomes clearer. GLL, a not-for-profit which runs under the name Better, has relied on the government’s furlough scheme and received bailouts from local authorities – including in Islington – to manage more than 500 job cuts and £170m of lost revenue during the pandemic.

Tiny £100m leisure fund too little too late as closures begin | Local Government Chronicle (LGC)

Fears are growing that the government’s £100 million National Leisure Recovery fund is only a small fraction of the £800m thought to be needed to keep leisure centres afloat following the devastating impact of three national lockdowns. The fund from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport was first announced in October to support arms length leisure providers, but faced delays in getting sign off from Treasury. The deadline for sending through expressions of interest was extended until last Friday, with awards being made on a rolling basis and expected to start coming out next week. The fund was initially intended to help leisure providers with the costs of reopening their services, but with the latest national lockdown declared this month Sport England, which is administering the fund, has just agreed to expand the scope of what the cash can be spent on to reflect the additional costs of prolonged closures.
