VISITS to Biddulph Leisure Centre have increased by 10 per cent for the six months to September.

Attendance was more than 102,000, compared with fall in attendance at Brough Park and South Moorlands Leisure Centres over the same period.

The Biddulph rise is attributed to the popularity of the Planet Pulse fitness suite, changes in the wet and dry programmes and a successful activity programme over the summer holidays.
