Leisure centre opening ‘ahead of schedule’

A leisure centre shut for major repairs four years ago is set to open weeks ahead of its most recent schedule.

An inquiry into construction faults at the DG One site in Dumfries found 90 issues with the project.

At one stage it was forecast the remedial work at the building would be completed in time for it to reopen in October next year.

However, the latest report to Dumfries and Galloway Council has suggested it could be back in use by 15 July. When work originally started on site it was hoped it could be completed by February this year.
