Councillor Arnold England, cabinet member for Leisure and Well-being, said: "We are very excited about the opening of Wellington Civic & Leisure Centre.
“I am sure that these state of the art facilities will be a fantastic addition to the vastly improved Wellington town centre as a result of the extensive regeneration that has been carried out by Telford & Wrekin Council and its partners, including Wellington Town Council.
“I would encourage anyone living in the local area to take the opportunity to pop in and see the leisure facilities from Monday 12 March.”
Councillor Richard Overton, cabinet member for Borough Towns Development, said: “The new centre really is fantastic and probably one of the most energy efficient public buildings in Telford and Wrekin, with a range of unique features.
“It is just another example of how we are continuing to develop our Borough Towns and represents both an exciting development for Wellington and also the council, as we continue to rationalise our property portfolio.”
