Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre ‘no longer fit for purpose’

Hounslow Council has approved plans to redevelop Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre, saying the site is no longer fit for purpose.

In a Cabinet report last October, officers said:

‘Built in 1987, and at 37 years old, Fountain LC. It requires significant investment or replacement to satisfy the modern fitness requirements and lifestyle expectations of the local community, to provide good quality facilities, and secure long-term viability’.
