DC Leisure secures Southampton deal
Southampton City Council (SCC) has appointed DC Leisure and its charity partner Active Nation to take over the operation of the city's leisure facilities as part of a 15-year lease agreement.
The partnership will take over the management of Bitterne Leisure Centre, the Quays 'Eddie Read' Swimming and Diving Complex, Chamberlayne Leisure Centre, Woodmill Activity Centre and Southampton Alpine Centre as well as numerous sports pitches.
The council hopes that the deal will help to increase the number of people using SCC's leisure facilities across the city by 15 per cent over the next five years, while also saving local taxpayers more than £400,000 each year.
