THE stalled development for a new leisure centre in Clay Cross is set to finally open its doors this week - after the original contractor fell into administration.

A new one stepped in to complete the project nearly six months behind schedule.
Clay Cross Active, which replaced the former Sharley Park Leisure Centre as part of the £24.1m Government-funded Clay Cross Town Deal regeneration scheme, was completed by new contractor Universal Civils and Build after subsidiaries of the original contractor ISG fell into administration.
