More funding for fitness in the Moorlands

Fitness facilities in Biddulph will receive a major upgrade as part of new investment approved by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.

The fitness suite at MyActive Biddulph will be fitted with new cardiovascular and strength-training equipment, safety flooring and refreshed branding. A new fleet of technology-enabled indoor cycles will also be introduced.

The council said the improvements respond to customer feedback collected since MyActive took over the operation of the district’s leisure facilities in October 2024. The new equipment is expected to improve reliability and make the facilities accessible to a wider range of users.

Funding has also been agreed to improve Birchall Sports Pavilion in Leek, where the main function room and kitchen will be converted into a community café.
