I WENT to the meeting (You spoke, we listened) about the new plans for the Darwen Leisure Centre.

The new plans proposed by the Conservative-led coalition will now mean that we get two new leisure centres for Darwen, one at Darwen Vale and one on the current site.

I would like to thank the Coalition for re-thinking the plans.

There was a vote taken at the meeting and the proposals were given unanimous support.

It's certainly true that at the Local Election in May the people of Darwen spoke and this new regime has listened.
