1610 secures £1.4m Torridge leisure contract


Somerset-based leisure trust 1610 has been awarded a £1.4m contract by Torridge District Council (TDC) to run its leisure facilities for the next decade, with effect from 1 February.

The not-for-profit organisation, which was formerly known as Somerset Leisure, currently manages 13 centres throughout the county and will add a further four to its portfolio.

Torrington Pool; Torridge Pool in Bideford; Holsworthy Leisure Centre; and Torrington Sports Hall and Artificial Turf Pitch will now be operated by 1610.

Barry Parsons, chair of TDC's community and resources committee, said: "We believe 1610 offered the best value for money and that they will offer the best and most comprehensive service for the residents of Torridge."
