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.

It's apparently sold to Sainsbury's now. But I'm a member of the gym, kid goes to taekwondo there, there are all manner of classes and clubs at the leisure centre side, and all manner of social clubs, notably for old people, on the other side. I'm also giving blood there next week. We'll still have the pool, but a whole lot will be lost to the community.
Walk the dog through the school grounds a fair bit and I've rarely seen anyone on their lovely 4g pitches, tennis courts or running track.
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.
