A new health and fitness space is among facilities to be unveiled at Bolton's Westhoughton Community Leisure Centre, following the completion of a £650,000 refurbishment.

The fitness area has been doubled in size and now offers more than 60 pieces of Life Fitness cardiovascular and resistance equipment, as well as free weights.

New dry changing rooms, a fully-equipped disabled changing space and a new entrance also featured as part of the refurbishment, which was part-funded by Sport England.

A spokesperson said: "The refurbishment will play an important part in providing the leisure and health facilities that the local community needs."

Bolton Community Leisure operates Westhoughton Community Leisure Centre, in addition to a number of other facilities across the town - including the £31m Bolton One complex.
