To ensure that our leisure centres continue to be well used and are in a solid position to meet the wide range of challenges that exist, we have therefore submitted to the executive board our proposed vision and strategy for the future. Proposed inner east Leeds leisure and wellbeing centre: Proposed Rothwell leisure and wellbeing centre: It is estimated, pending a detailed feasibility study that the cost of each centre would be in the region of £10-14m. To meet the costs of each centre, the council will through its evaluation work put together a detailed business case explaining how it proposes to meet this indicated investment figure. Currently the centre runs at a deficit of £177k per year, which equating to a subsidy per visit of £1.72, is significantly more than similar leisure centres with swimming pools where the level of subsidy currently totals £0.50.
