The new centre in Halifax could open in 2025, the council says.

Some elements of the original plans, including a sauna and steam room, will not be included, the council saidPlans are back on track to build a new leisure centre in Halifax after they were put on hold due to rising costs.

The authority said officers had been working to get "best value for money," particularly around energy costs. Council leader Jane Scullion said: "It had been devastating to have to pause the project last autumn and look at the whole provision of leisure in Halifax." Some £12m of Levelling Up money from the government, which had been earmarked for the project, was still available to use, the council confirmed.
