I am aware that Belper Leisure Centre now has a preferred bidder, which is a not-for-profit charitable organisation. I am pleased to hear that this organisation would like to continue it as a Leisure Centre and that they intend to operate it, as it does currently, for the benefit of the local community, schools and clubs.
However, I understand there is still some further due diligence to be carried out by the preferred bidder, before the sale can proceed. I am continuing to follow this matter closely and I am being kept informed of progress regarding the sale.
