Plans for a new swimming pool and leisure centre are set to go before councillors.
A report for Shropshire Council's cabinet on 7 September will ask members to approve proposals for new £13.1m facilities in Whitchurch. It comes, the authority says, after eight weeks of public consultation that has shown "overwhelming support" for the plans.The authority said a new centre would be the most viable and cost-effective way to replace the current offering, after investigations into a leak revealed significant defects within the swimming pool.A new swimming centre would feature a six-lane, 25m pool with a movable floor, a fitness suite, function rooms and café.
Shropshire Council's leader, Lezley Picton said it hopes to get the work underway as soon as possible.
