Active Ashton, Adventure Longdendale and Active Etherow will shut in early September
Three leisure centres are to close within months in Tameside after the trust which runs them says its finances have been ‘ravaged’.
“As a provider of predominantly discretionary public services for all, our ability to simply charge our customers significantly more for their activities is not an option. Doubling the price for a swim would have a significant impact on attendances and in turn the health of our community. “Unfortunately, due to the amount required it is with deep regret that we must announce the closures of three of our sites; Active Ashton, Adventure Longdendale and Active Etherow.
The trust has been struggling financially for some time but the pressures were worsened when the pandemic struck three years ago, despite a number of advance payments being made by the local authority to support it. “Once again, it is with deep regret that we must announce these closures and we hope you understand the reasons behind why we have had to make these difficult decisions,” the spokesperson added.
