Leeds City Council has issued an update on plans to build a new Wetherby Leisure Centre.
Plans to rebuild Wetherby Leisure Centre were first proposed as part of plans to rebuild Wetherby High School, one of the oldest in Leeds. Expected to cost around £25m, and originally given a completion date of September 2024, the proposals will see a reduction of the school's land, currently 18.3 acres, to 10.5 acres. This led to excitement that a new leisure centre could be on the cards but Leeds City Council has insisted that such plans are still someway off becoming a reality.
'There are ongoing discussions with the DfE regarding any surplus land following the completion of the school redevelopment being released from education use. 'Working in partnership with the school, the council would consider potential future uses, one of which could be a new leisure centre.' The current main building at Wetherby High School was built in the 1960s and is dominated by a main tower block, linked to the school hall by two footbridges.
