Manchester City Council will add sports facilities to the sports hall and swimming pool, which are already being built at Wright Robinson Sports College. These will include dance, weights and fitness suites, space for activities such as badminton and baton twirling and storage space, teaching and changing accommodation. 1,800 students at the college and 4,000 from other schools will benefit. The facilities will be available to members of the local community, enabling up to 30,000 visits per year.
