The Vale of Glamorgan Council's cabinet has agreed to extend the contract of Parkwood Leisure, the facilities operator of Barry leisure centres.

Parkwood Leisure, which runs Barry, Colcot and Holm View Leisure Centres, originally signed a ten-year contract with the Council in August 2012.

At a Cabinet meeting on Monday 21 June, members agreed to extend that arrangement for another seven years.

An initial 5-year extension had already been agreed in principle when the Covid-19 pandemic struck.

It has now been agreed that "extending the contract is by far the best option for the Council and that a longer extension than 5 years is the optimum commercial approach."
