Middlesbrough centres reopen following £1.1m investment

Leisure centres in Middlesbrough have hosted an open event to celebrate a recent £1.1m investment.

The funding was used to update and upgrade the fitness areas at Middlesbrough Sports Village, Neptune Centre, Rainbow Leisure Centre and Eston Leisure Centre.

In addition, Guisborough Swim and Fitness Centre also benefited from a raft of updated equipment.

The centres are operated by Everyone Active, on behalf of Middlesbrough Council and Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, and are part of a larger strategy to refurbish the area’s physical activity facilities.

Middlesbrough Mayor, Chris Cooke, said: “My vision is to make Middlesbrough healthier, safer and more ambitious. These refurbishments are one step closer to achieving that.
