The final cost of delayed work at a crumbling Liverpool leisure centre has been confirmed.
After years of delay, Liverpool Council has signed off on a scheme of work to refurbish the dilapidated Peter Lloyd Lifestyles leisure centre in Tuebrook. An urgent decision was taken by officers on Monday to green light the pot of cash needed to bring the popular location back into service.
The council has confirmed that 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 a decision report.
