Demolition has begun on the site of the new Woolwich Leisure Centre, as public feedback following consultation into the scheme is revealed.

Cllr Sarah Merrill, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Growth, said: “The Council is making a big investment in Woolwich across a number of regeneration projects that will rejuvenate the town centre, create jobs, attract visitors and boost the local economy.
