K2 Crawley leisure centre in West Sussex is set for a £650,000 reconfiguration that will see the centre house a new music and comedy venue.

Other plans for K2 include an expansion of the gymnastics hall with a second gymnastics floor space and a new three-tier soft play area.

The council's proposed changes would also see the removal of its indoor bowls green.

Crawley Borough Council, which held a public consultation on the project, said that the majority of people support the plans and that the changes would reduce the running cost of the centre by £60,00 per year.

Lenny Walker, cabinet member for leisure and culture, said: "It has become clear that better uses could be made of this area, improving participation levels in response to increased interest following the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games while raising the profile of the town as an entertainment venue.

"Our policies over the past few years, to increase participation have been recognised by Sport England ranking us second nationally for improvement and seventh nationally for participation levels."
