£15 Million for Bedworth Leisure Centre

That's a decent amount of cash: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/15million-boost-new-bedworth-leisure-21996088

If I were them I'd be looking at stripping out the duplication between BLC and Nuneaton's Pingles. The two sites are close enough to justify this and Nuneaton and Bedworth would get better overall facilities.

A long wait for the new leisure centre: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/date-revealed-bedworths-247m-new-23290411

Let's hope they employ a better contractor than Coventry did with the railway station. I don't think water leaks at a leisure centre would go down too well. ;)

A good contribution towards the total: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/sport-englands-2m-boost-bedworths-24006008

I really have my doubts about this. I suspect that the money would be better spent at The Pingles centre. The Bedworth centre is pretty small and I have long harboured thoughts about its running costs and the wisdom of two sports centres so close together.
