New sports facilities planned for The Deepings School will be accessible to the wider community following leisure center closure.
Campaigners tried reopening Deepings Leisure Centre. The council shut it down in 2021. Sadly, their reopening project failed. The group hoped to partner with Anthem Schools Trust. The Trust runs The Deepings School nearby.
But, they couldn’t reach an agreement. The trust wants sports facilities for the school. They also want the community to use them. They plan a sports hall, gym and studio. No pool is planned.
They’re making a proposal for their trustees soon. After that, they will update everyone else. Lincolnshire Council owns the leisure center site. The council plans to lease the site to Anthem Schools.
They also will fund the center’s demolition. The trust understands community disappointment.The trust recognizes the group’s hard work. They promise future facilities for everyone. They want accessibility for all.
