QE centre needs revamp
The Queen Elizabeth Leisure Centre near Wimbourne, Dorset, requires £1m of maintenance work over the next seven years in order to keep the facility in working order.
The QE Leisure Centre Consultative Group has approved a list of works deemed to be most important, which total £87,000.
East Dorset District Council will fund £52,110, while the county council will provide the remaining £34,750.
The Bournemouth Echo quoted council leader Spencer Flower as saying: “I can see that this work is necessary. If it isn’t done, the building will deteriorate.”
The council’s community and culture scrutiny and development sub committee has also recommended a seven per cent increase in customer entrance fees for the forthcoming financial year, raising the cost of an adult swimming ticket from £2.90 to £3.10.
This succeeds an eight per cent increase in fees in 2008/2009
