A leisure centre in Cheam, Sutton, is set to get a £3m upgrade. As part of the upgrades, the boilers, heat exchangers and the main pumps and filtration system for the pool will be replaced.

£600,000 will also be spent on an upgrade to the main reception area, better lighting, new decoration and improved disability access.

The works will add 25 years to the life of the centre, which will close for up to six months during the revamp.

A large cut of the funding will be spent fitting a new roof as the current one is leaking.

The investment will also see new guttering and rainwater pipes installed as well as repairs being made to the brick and plasterwork for a new air ventilation system.

Plans estimate that work will be complete by May 2016.
