A new leisure centre is set to open in the Yorkshire town of Morley next month, which may provide welcome news to women who are looking to don their ladies fitness and undertake some exercise.

A 25-metre swimming pool is among the facilities that will be on offer at the new centre, along with a sports hall boasting six courts.

John Procter, executive member for leisure at Leeds City Council, feels that the centre will prove popular among a variety of Leeds residents.

He stated: "It is looking absolutely amazing and we are confident it is going to be exceptionally well used by the local community as well as people from all over the Leeds area."

Based at Scatcherd Park, people will be able to make use of the facilities offered by Morley Leisure Centre from June 22nd.

Meanwhile, youngsters in Leeds looking to improve their fitness with the help of cycling activity may benefit from the Bikeability scheme which has now been adopted by the city's council.
