DC Leisure has been awarded two contracts by Rushmoor Borough Council to manage Southwood Golf Course and Farnborough Recreation Centre.

DC Leisure, which is now in partnership with 29 local authorities managing 91 leisure facilities, is putting more than £1m into improving the Rushmoor facilities.

'We look forward to working with existing staff and believe that their local knowledge, coupled with our leisure management expertise, will ensure a high quality leisure experience for residents,' said DC Leisure's regional operations director, Mark Evans.
