Following a meeting of the Executive yesterday, Stockport Council has announced that the Avondale and Peel Moat leisure centres – both threatened with closure – will remain open until at least May 2011.

At that time, the Council and the Sports Trust will bring forward a new strategy for leisure provision across Stockport.

This is a welcome reconsideration.  The Council has put its hands up, admitted it acted too hastily and has been busy listening to the views and concerns of those worried about the closure.

The result of that listening: real action.
