Probe into failed leisure centre sale rumbles on
Birmingham Mail
|December 17, 2025
THE saga of the failed sale of the former Dudley Leisure Centre looks set to drag into a third year.
Dudley Council's Audit Committee was told on December 8 a report on the authority's £1.6m deal with developer Amarjit Dhanda to dispose of the vacant Wellington Road centre was not available.
The report, from external auditor Grant Thornton, was requested to explain why the deal collapsed and why it was made public before being completed.
The centre dates back to the 1970s and closed in January 2022 to be replaced by the £18m Duncan Edwards centre on New Mill Street.
The old centre stood empty while owners Dudley Council looked for a buyer to redevelop the 5.7-acre site.
