“The changes we are putting in place today will help to greatly improve swimming facilities in the north of the district.

“The improvements for Hailsham, which will involve a new centre, are even more exciting.

“We will be consulting fully about the future new provisions in the months ahead.”

To help deliver these improvements, Wealden District Council will be seeking support from Sport England’s Strategic Facility Fund.

The council owns part of the Hailsham leisure building and has a long lease on Crowborough leisure centre.

More plans are expected to be released soon.
