Membership prices at council-run leisure centres in Leeds are set to rise by 11.5% as the local authority seeks to raise funds.

Monthly fees at Active Leeds, Leeds City Council’s leisure arm, will increase by £3 to £28.95 from September.

The council, which must save more than £100m this financial year, said it would bring pricing into line with other authorities.

Junior pricing will not increase and there will no longer be a requirement to commit to a 12-month contract.
