Council Leader Owen O'Donnell said: "Following the feedback already received, the project team has worked hard to develop an updated plan for the new Eastwood Leisure Centre. These consultation events will give people the chance to view what is proposed and it's important that as many people as possible get involved and submit their views. I look forward to seeing this project progress to the next stage."

The proposals for the new £56m facility, which will be built in Eastwood Park, include a leisure centre, theatre and library space.

The leisure centre has been designed to include a 25m pool and separate training pool, a games hall, fitness suite, two fitness studios, a spin studio and cafe.

Following the consultation period, the proposals will be submitted for planning permission, and if granted it is expected that construction would start in mid-2025.
