Plans to permanently shut a leisure centre have come under question following a consultation that has been branded ‘futile’ and ‘pointless’. Dialstone Leisure Centre, in Offerton, Stockport, was closed in January last year due to flooding, and has not reopened due to the ‘significant damage’ caused at the site.The council now plans to shut it down for good, in order to save £200,000 per year as well as the £150k price tag for bringing the centre back into use. An ‘Active Communities’ programme was launched at Offerton Community Centre so people could remain active - and is intended to continue to compensate for the permanent closure of Dialstone.The Lib Dem-run council also says it will continue to look at ways to enhance the leisure offer in the area. But opposition members have questioned the decision to close the centre, particularly as only 20pc of respondents to an online questionnaire were supportive of the closure plan.READ MORE: Drivers could be fined by council in five problem areas after law change
