Earlier this month the roof finally went on to the new Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre.

After all the heart ache, the political wrangling and dreams of what could have been, what we did achieve is taking shape.

This was something that originally started with cross-party support but had to be pushed through, despite opposition, by the Liberal Democrat administration to ensure that our community will have a decent leisure centre.

It’s still got a way to go- but this is one pledge which we made and is finally reaching reality.
