Two new leisure centres could be built in County Durham and another could be refurbished if plans are approved.
Durham County Council has launched a consultation over plans to build new leisure centres at the Woodhouse Close site in Bishop Auckland and the former Civic Centre site in Chester-le-Street. Plans will also include refurbishing The Louisa Centre in Stanley as part of the council's leisure transformation programme.
Plans for each site include two new pools with moveable floors and improved accessibility, as well as new state-of-the-art fitness suites, group exercise studios, wellbeing suites and a café, children's soft play and outdoor space. The new facilities will replace the current buildings, which are no longer fit for purpose.
