Private company to operate Boston facilities

POSTED 11 Feb 2010 . BY Pete Hayman

Boston Borough Council has announced that it has approved plans to transfer the management of two town sports centres to a private operator in a move to reduce costs.

Councillors backed plans for the appointment of a leisure firm to run the Geoff Moulder Leisure Pool and Princess Royal Sports Arena, but will not reveal the identity of the company until unsuccessful bidders are informed.

The agreement, which is set to save the council £154,000 each year, will lead to the reopening of the training pool as part of a revamp of the Geoff Moulder Leisure Pool.
