Community Leisure Services (CLS) began work on the development of Yarborough Leisure Centre yesterday after taking over the Lincoln leisure centre’s management on 10 May.

The developments include introducing new changing facilities for both wet and dry areas and a new fitness suite as well as enlarging the reception and public areas.

The first phase is focusing on the dry fitness suite changing area and will see the sauna and steamrooms relocated as part of the later wet changing area development.

CLS is an independent charitable trust, which currently manages 27 leisure and recreation facilities on behalf of five local authorities, in Chorley, Wyre, Abingdon, Portsmouth and Horley. Details: www.communityleisure.co.uk
