The new Abraham Darby Sports and Leisure Centre, which forms part of a wider sports and learning community for Telford, Shropshire, has been unveiled by the local authority.

Facilities include the Aspirations fitness suite equipped with 44 pieces of Cybex equipment, including Total and Lower Body Arc Trainers, as well as two Power Plates.

A separate spinning studio includes 12 Precor team bikes, while the facilities also include a 25m swimming pool with moveable floor, a sports hall and an aerobics studio.

It is the first new leisure facility to be unveiled by Telford and Wrekin Council (TWC) this year, with a second to follow in March with the £8.5m Wellington Civic and Leisure Centre.

TWC cabinet member for leisure and wellbeing Arnold England said: "Lots of visitors are turning up with their gym bags at the ready to give the new facilities a try."
