Funding approved for £46k changing rooms revamp

The fitness suite's changing rooms at Wombourne Leisure Centre will be refurbished

The refurbishment of a leisure centre's changing rooms is set to go ahead after funding was approved.

Members of South Staffordshire Council agreed to spend £46,000 on the project at Wombourne Leisure Centre during a recent meeting.

A report said the revamp was originally approved in January but could not proceed until the 2025-26 financial year, as the procurement process was not finished in time.

The money has come from the council's £1.25m portion of the government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the document added.

Councillors at Tuesday's cabinet meeting were told the full £46,000 might not be needed and could potentially be reallocated to other projects.
