Long-delayed work to refurbish a Liverpool leisure centre has been hit with more setbacks but a date for completion of one of its major flaws has now been confirmed.
After years of waiting, Liverpool Council signed off on work to upgrade and repair the dilapidated Peter Lloyd Lifestyles leisure centre in Tuebrook. An urgent decision was taken by officers in August to green light the pot of cash needed to bring the popular location back into service.
A total of £1.4m has been made available for the work, with more than half - £753,000 - to be used in repairing the roof by contractors Liquid Roofing and Kier building services for project fees. A further £336,000 has been earmarked for “nonessential internal refurbishments” according to the decision report.
