Parks, leisure centres and community facilities across Charnwood are to receive £4.3 million of investment from the borough council.

The authority is set to spend £1.8m upgrading heating, power and swimming pool systems at its three leisure centres in Loughborough, Mountsorrel and Syston.

A further £1.6m will be spent on paths and play areas in parks, with a further £250,000 going towards reopening public toilets in Loughborough's Southfields Park.

The council is also set to invest £500,000 into upgrading and installing new CCTV cameras and £150,000 on catering facilities at Loughborough Town Hall.
