Welsh public sector day spa to open in 2011

Wales' first public sector day spa is scheduled to open in September 2011 at Deeside Leisure Centre, Queensferry - part of a £4m revamp of the facility.

A large heat experience spa, featuring a herb sauna; a crystal steam room; a salt grotto and foot spas are proposed, along with an aroma and treatment rooms. The new spa facilities will form part of the second phase of a wider redevelopment being carried out by Alliance Leisure and Flintshire County Council.

A converted former first floor nightclub will house the spa, along with a toning salon; an 80-station fitness suite; and two fitness studios. Work is due to commence on the second phase of the scheme in early 2011 following the completion of the stage one, which saw the installation of new five-a-side pitches.
