War of words over collapsed sale of leisure company continues
Daily Post
|May 16, 2025
UNISON has responded to Denbighshire Council defending itself from criticism contained in an independent report and allegations potential shareholders were trying to make a 'quick buck' from the sale of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd [DLL].
As reported in Wednesday's Daily Post, Denbighshire Council confirmed it had spent £62k on expert advice on the failed sale of DLL, the company that runs the authority's eight leisure centres.
Merseyside investors River Capital pulled out of the £1.5m sale after details on the deal were leaked following councillors voting to back the move behind closed doors.
After commissioning an independent report into the sale, Unison then slammed Denbighshire for not exploring all the options.
