The Leisure Centre in Keighley, originally opened in the 1980s, is set to reopen

A leisure centre which closed for repairs and a refurbishment scheme is set to reopen next month, Bradford Council confirmed.

The Leisure Centre in Keighley closed in February to allow work on the £900,000 project to take place, including electrical improvements and the fitting of solar panels.

The work was funded in part by the government's national swimming pool support fund.

In an email to local residents, the local authority said the leisure centre would be open again from 30 June.

The pool, gym and sports classes at the centre on Hard Ings Road have been unavailable for the past four months.

A limited number of activities have continued at the neighbouring Victoria Hall.
