The multi-milion pound refurbishment of Sleaford Leisure Centre in Lincolnshire is going well and is 'on schedule', according to the team undertaking the work.

The £2.85m (US$4.3m, €3.3m) refurbishment, which saw the Leisure Centre temporarily close down in October 2012, will see a larger gym facility, splash pool and new changing rooms built among the plans.

Local contractors RG Carter of Lincoln, who were present at a public briefing to update the local community on the progress last week, is carrying out the work. Also attending the meeting were renewable energy company Eco2, leisure management firm Leisure Connection and North Kesteven District Council's senior building surveyor.

The refurbishment of Sleaford Leisure Centre was approved as part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic legacy and will be fully open to the public in October.
