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.
Councillor Sebastian Field represents Podsmead Ward on Gloucester City Council and was first elected in a by-election in July 2019.
Sebastian is a former Mayor of Gloucester and previously served as a city councillor in Kingsholm Ward for nine years.
He has a strong record standing up for Podsmead on the city council. He has spoken up and asked questions of the Conservative administration, and fought for a fair deal for our area.
He has challenged the Conservative-run Highways department at Shire Hall over the poor state of Podsmead's roads and pavements.
Sebastian is the cabinet member for the environment as part of the Lib Dem administration running the city council.
Podsmead is part of the Hempsted & Westgate county council division and Rebecca Trimnell, a city councillor in Westgate ward, will be the Liberal Democrat candidate in May 2025.
If you have any issues you would like Sebastian to take up on your behalf you can get in touch with him on 01452 492230 or sebastian.field@gloucester.gov.uk
