“We’ve had to wait a long time for this and people all over the area are looking forward to it.

“It’s going to be a massive asset and help make local people happier, healthier and fitter.”

He added: “We’ll bring in our staff on Tuesday and people will be able to come in and use the gym and have a look around.”
