Moorways Sports Village: £42m sport centre opens in Derby

• Sarah Kilburn-Wilson reports on the opening of Moorways Sports Village

A brand new £42million sports centre has opened in Derby today.

Moorways Sports Village has taken three years to build, on the site of the old Moorway Baths.

It features state-of-the-art facilities including a 50metre pool, an outdoor running track and a gym.

Olympic legends including swimmer Mark Foster, Derbyshire's own Ross Davenport and track and field athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton were at the grand opening today.

The opening of the new facility comes as the Queens Leisure Centre, on Cathedral Road, closes its doors after 90 years - a place where thousands learned to swim, including double Olympic gold medal winner Adam Peaty.
