They've announced our town's (slightly ageing, but not decrepit) leisure centre is going to be closed and 'replaced'. Which means it'll be closed and likely never replaced. The only option will be joining the private school's leisure centre for a grand a year (per individual), with its extensive amazing facilities that are barely used because normal people can't afford them.

They've been closing it for a decade. And the pool will likely stay open. It's the leisure centre by Sainsbury's that will go. Other than blood donations I don't know what actually happens there. There apparently used to be a youth club in the 80s.
As for the private school one. It's always rammed when I'm there for the kids football training.

I think ours, that closed during Covid, is now being knocked down and having flats built on it.

My local pool closed a few years ago owing to the need for a roof that needed fixing, then replacing. Then the whole place closed. Now it’s just sat crumbling.
Whole generations of would be swimmer now not swimming
