Manchester City Council Takes Back Sports Services | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Manchester City Council is bringing its sports and leisure services back in-house after seven years with Manchester Active Limited, aiming to save nearly $900,000 over five years and reinvest those funds directly into local sports initiatives. The move, set to conclude on January 31, 2027, promises greater accountability and better value for money, with staff transferring under TUPE. While some question if full savings will materialize, the council sees this as a strategic step to enhance community health and well-being.
