DMU leisure centre opening

31st July, 2012

It was great to attend the opening of DeMontfort University’s new leisure centre a superb addition to the Leicester skyline. It’s a fantastic new facility open to the community as well as university staff and students.

The  leisure centre along with the new Tescos has transformed this end of Braunstone Gate.  The vista is now more open and much more inviting and will attract more people into the area to the benefit of the shops, bars and restaurants.

Change can often be difficult and there are those who doubted that there would ever be a new leisure centre and swimming pool. DeMontfort University is to be congratulated in delivering it on time and on budget as planned.  I hope many people enjoy using it for many years to come.
