Leisure facilities to be removed from Bell's Sports Centre by August 31

Perth and Kinross Council has agreed to Live Active Leisure's request to move its leisure services from Bell's Sports Centre to Dewars Centre and Perth schools.Council leader Grant Laing said "everyone across the chamber is sad about this but it's a financial and weatherological necessity".

In October 2023, Bell's Sports Centre suffered catastrophic flooding after several floodgates on the North Inch were not closed in time. The sports centre suffered around £2 million of damage. The report said "there are no immediate workforce implications to this report". However, Mr Littlejohn apologised and said that was inaccurate.

Live Active Leisure's chief executive Paul Cromwell said: "We've engaged with the groups that are impacted and I've attended meetings to explain the rationale and look at any possible ways we can work with groups going forward. Mr Cromwell said: "After three years of not having any significant or any surface water flooding at Perth Leisure Pool we still can't attract typical comprehensive flood insurance.
