Work to pull down Whitwick's Hermitage Leisure Centre is expected to take about three months

The Hermitage Leisure Centre building in Whitwick has been vacant since the new Whitwick and Coalville Leisure Centre opened in February. The parish council had wanted to save part of it as a community centre but repairs were too expensive.Anti-social behaviourCalls for it to be converted for community use were rejected on the grounds that maintenance was costing £17,500 a month, with necessary repairs estimated to cost more than £2m.
"We have aspirations to invest in the Hermitage Recreation Ground and are working up plans to improve the community facilities in the area."
