The formal transfer from Wiltshire Council to Cricklade Town Council has been completed

Wiltshire Council has worked with local leisure facility partners Places Leisure, Cricklade and District Community Association and Brian Whitehead Sports Centre Association (Downton Leisure Centre, operated by Gymies Ltd) to apply for support funding from the Government's National Leisure Recovery Fund and have been allocated £865k.

Following government confirmation that Step 2 of the roadmap will proceed, all 20 leisure centres across the county will reopen from Monday 12 April

Ever wanted to ask an elite athlete a question? What's it like to compete for your country or how did it feel to win an Olympic or Paralympic medal?

Our sports development team has launched a session to support its walking sports participants during this difficult time.

A member of Wiltshire Council's Active Health team has enlisted the help of his son to put together a short exercise video to support those individuals who are currently isolating at home.

We are supporting the county to be as active as possible while our leisure facilities are currently closed and people have to stay at home.

Although Wiltshire Council's Get Wiltshire Walking programme has been suspended, the council's walking coordinators have made more than 100 calls to the group members to ensure they feel supported and connected during this difficult time.
