GL1 leisure centre's shock closure leaves 150 out of work
The announcement to shut the GL1 Leisure Centre and Oxstalls Sports Park comes after charitable trust Aspire went into liquidation.
Councillors Ashley Bowkett and Joshua Taylor are part of the Liberal Democrat team representing Barnwood.
Ashley, who lives in Barnwood, was first elected in a by-election in 2019.
He made his home in Gloucester in 2011 after spending eight years working in China, Singapore, and the US.
He is an award-winning documentary producer/director, and has worked in international television production, broadcasting, and distribution since the early 2000s.
Joshua also lives in Barnwood and works as a teacher in a local secondary school. He was first elected in May 2024.
Ashley will be standing for the county council in Barnwood & Hucclecote division as Councillor David Brown is stepping down after many years of dedicated service.
