THIS is the first peek inside Waddon's new £15 million leisure centre. The state-of-the-art facility opens to the public on Wednesday after six years in the planning.

Councillor Phil Thomas, the council's cabinet member for highways and environmental services, said: "This really is a brilliant new facility."

    “Ah. It is a private leisure centre, not a Council one. I wasn't sure. Looks wonderful. Presumably the pool has chlorine?”
