The health and well being of residents is one of the Council’s key priorities. Our surveys have shown that improved leisure, recreation and sports facilities, access to health services, better parks and open spaces and activities for teenagers are all top priorities in what makes somewhere nice to live. They also contribute to how people live their lives and what they do for enjoyment and accordingly how healthy their lifestyles are.

To ensure residents continue to have plenty of opportunities to participate in sports and leisure activities the Council has continued to invest in the facilities throughout the District. Currently we have two leisure projects underway -

·        To build a new leisure centre in Witham to replace the aging Bramston Sports Centre

·        To competitively tender for a new contract to manage all the leisure facilities in the District.
