News breaking this morning is that the Oasis Lesiure Centre will not be reopening after the current lockdown as it has been deemed no longer viable by the operators GLL.
According to a social media post this mornign by Swindon Labour Councillors, GLL will be handing the lease back to Seven Capital, the company behind the redevelopment plans of the North Star site.
Councillor David Renard, Leader of Swindon Borough Council, said: “This is really disappointing news for the staff and my thoughts are with them and their families at this difficult time.
“I am personally very sad GLL has taken the decision to surrender its lease with Seven Capital on the Oasis, but COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on leisure providers and the leisure industry as a whole.
“We are continuing to work with Seven Capital, as landlord of the Oasis, and GLL, who continue to operate six leisure centres on behalf of the Council.”
