The leisure centre will remain open during the construction works and it is anticipated that the upgraded facility will open in October 2018.

“It is fantastic to see the announcement that work will soon commence on a second major capital investment to improve Flintshire’s facilities.  We work co-operatively with Aura which means, rather than having to consider the future of some of our leisure centres and libraries, we are jointly securing jobs and investing in our leisure centres to make them better for our residents.”

Christine Edwards, Chair of Aura Leisure and Libraries, said:

“This is a huge milestone for the Aura Team.  The Board has been working really hard with employees to ensure that services are improved and that customers experience benefits.  This announcement shows our commitment to make a significant and long term difference for the residents of Flintshire.”
