Councillors will next week consider Live Active Leisure's request to move its gym and fitness studios to Dewars Centre later this summer

Perth and Kinross Council has now been asked by Live Active Leisure to remove its services from the centre and relocate them to Dewars Centre by August 31.

Just 15 months later - in October 2023 - Bell's Sports Centre suffered "catastrophic" flooding after several floodgates on the North Inch were not closed in time. Around £2 million of damage was caused to the sports centre. Neighbouring homes, businesses and leisure facilities were also flooded. Following an outcry from the world of curling, councillors voted for the new PH2O facility to include an ice rink. However the plans do not include indoor bowling or a purpose-built leisure pool with flumes but a 25m eight-lane traditional swimming pool with "leisure swimming". The fully costed plan for PH2O will be brought before councillors in August 2024.

The spokesperson said in March: "This is not a decision that our board has taken lightly, and we are fully aware of the impact on those that currently use Dewars.
