Three pitches at a sports centre in Wirral are to reopen for the first time in two years after being repeatedly vandalised.
The pitches will be reopening at the Oval Sports centre, which has seen a significant loss of revenue contributing nearly £1m to Wirral Council’s leisure department going £3.9m over budget. The pitches were initially closed during the pandemic.
Wirral councillors were debating loss of revenue at sports centres, leisure and tourism when Cllr Judith Grier asked what was happening with the pitches “as they were always busy so I can imagine there’s quite a lot of lost revenue there.”
