Work on a £3.2m redevelopment of the One Leisure facility in St Ives, Cambridgeshire will begin in June 2012 after the project was given final approval.

The redevelopment will include the opening of a new Pure Health & Wellbeing-branded spa facility and a new 150-station fitness suite as well as a five-lane bowling alley. The Pure spa will have six treatment rooms.

The centre is operated by One Leisure, the leisure division of Huntingdonshire District Council.

Simon Bell, general manager for One Leisure said: "The opportunity to redevelop One Leisure St Ives is eagerly awaited and will be great for the whole community.

"It will provide quality, up to date and different facilities that meet our residents' needs in a way that we have not been able to before. This is a long-term investment that we know will be attractive and will encourage many new visitors of all ages to our flagship centre."
