Frost and freezing temperatures had a “considerable effect” on progress to revamp a dilapidated leisure centre in Tuebrook, with further delays now expected.
After years of waiting, Liverpool Council signed off for work to begin on the upgrade and repair at the crumbling Peter Lloyd Lifestyles leisure centre. An urgent decision was taken by officers in August to green light the pot of cash needed to bring the popular location back into service.
The site is unable to open to the public in any form in its current state of repair. It is estimated that closure of the site has lost the local authority £1m a year in potential revenue.
