    Nidderdale Pool and Leisure Centre in Pateley Bridge has been renamed Nidderdale Leisure and Wellness Centre.

    Harrogate Borough Council, which runs the facility, also revealed today The Hydro in Harrogate and Knaresborough Pool will be known as Harrogate Leisure and Wellness Centre and Knaresborough Leisure and Wellness Centre when they re-open.

    It is part of a move to rebrand council-run leisure facilities in the Harrogate district with a greater focus on community health and wellbeing.

    Mark Tweedie, managing director of Brimhams Active, which is the council-controlled company that operates the facilities, said:

    "Through our new pioneering strategy Brimhams has committed to revitalising and reinventing conventional leisure services to focus on what people want and need to optimise their health and wellbeing whatever their starting point.
    "Changing the names of our facilities symbolises this, and this investment is another example of the serious commitment to support the communities we serve."


    Signs have been installed at Nidderdale Leisure and Wellness Centre showing the new name.

    The rebranding has already started at other facilities in the Harrogate district, including the Jack Laugher Leisure and Wellness Centre, Fairfax Wellbeing Hub, Knaresborough Wellbeing Hub and Jennyfield Styan Wellbeing Hub.

    Harrogate Leisure and Wellness Centre and Knaresborough Leisure and Wellness Centre are due to reopen this year after multi-million pound investments.
