Company Update 16/05/2024

Perth and Kinross Council met on Wednesday 15th May 2024 and approved the withdrawal of sport and leisure services and activity at Bell's Sport Centre from August 2024.

The Council decided earlier this year that Bell’s, Dewars Centre and Perth Leisure Pool should be consolidated into one facility, so any reinstatement of Bell’s would be at best temporary and cost in the region of £2 million, which is simply uneconomic. What is more, Bell’s has already suffered two significant floods since 2020 and this would leave an uninsured and uninsurable risk of yet another flood event.

Bell’s Sports Centre has played an important sporting role in the local area and we know it holds a special place in the hearts of generations of users from Perth & Kinross and beyond, so we understand that the end of this facility’s time as a sports centre is disappointing, However, Perth and Kinross Council will be considering proposals later this year on how Bell's can play a new role in our city moving forward.

For Live Active Leisure, our focus now moves on to engaging with sports clubs in regard to their winter bookings which will begin in the coming weeks and on the transfer of our health and fitness offer to Dewars Centre.

Unfortunately, due to the severe weather that took place over the weekend, Bell’s Sports Centre has experienced significant flooding and will remain closed at this time. We are in the process of assessing the impact of the flooding and we will provide further updates when available.

In the meantime, there’s still plenty of ways to stay active in Perth at our other venues which include gym, swim and sportshall options.
