Barnsley Premier Leisure (BPL) has reopened the Dorothy Hyman Sports Centre in Cudworth, South Yorkshire, following a £400,000 refurbishment.

Work at the centre included the creation of a new 50-station health and fitness club, spread across two levels, and the refurbishment of the 400m running track.

BPL invested £100,000 in the redevelopment, with Coalfields Regeneration Trust providing the remaining £300,000.

Steve Roberts, head of business development at BPL, said: "The launch of the new facilities is part of helping people in the local community to get fit and enjoy healthier lifestyles.

"As obesity levels in Barnsley are higher than the national average, it is really important that people have access to good quality facilities that are conveniently located."

BPL currently operates 11 sites on behalf of local councils in Yorkshire.
