A city leisure centre will miss yet another deadline for re-opening despite a Liverpool Council cabinet member stating they wanted it open by September.
Peter Lloyd Leisure Centre in Tuebrook is to remain closed for the foreseeable future with work due to get underway on its damaged roof in the coming weeks. Earlier this year, Cllr Harry Doyle, assistant mayor and cabinet member for culture and visitor economy, said he wanted the site open by September but has now conceded this won’t be possible.
An additional £1m is being spent to advance work at the leisure centre that has been shut since the coronavirus pandemic began. Of the £1m, £150,000 is to be spent on the roof itself, while the further £850,000 will be used for indoor renovations.
