About Us

In 2004Lewisham Council announced plans to demolish Ladywell Leisure Centre in 2007 - we saved it!

(Via Kerrier District Council.)

Leisure Connections, the company selected by Lewisham Council for the development and running of the PFI funded Downham Lifestyles Centre has a client portfolio that though wide, is thinning by the day.

Will they get some help from Lewisham Council that is desperately trying to award them a 30 years contract of the value of £70M since July 2003?

It's now 2 years that we can't know what's happening there because it's a matter of commercial confidentiality. ...read more...
