Multi-million pound plans have been tabled to transform Sale Leisure Centre, and now residents can have their say on them.
The refurbishment plans, from Trafford council and Trafford Leisure, which manages the facilities on behalf of the council, hope to turn the popular leisure centre into a state-of-the-art facility for the whole community.
The proposed design includes a 25m pool and a leisure pool, a 100-station fitness suite, four studios, a four-court sports hall, a lobby and viewing café, a wet and dry village changing area and an accessible changing and toilet area.
