Ravenscraig Sports Centre is set for a major refurbishment.
And, leisure bosses are advising customers that the centre will be closed from Wednesday 30 September while it is upgraded.

The refurbishment project is in partnership with Inverclyde Council and Inverclyde Leisure
Inverclyde Council’s Communities Vice Convener, Councillor James McColgan, said: “When completed the new Ravenscraig Activity Centre will be a real asset to the residents of Inverclyde and help encourage people to get active. This is a major investment in the Ravenscraig facility and when opened next year will add a new facility to Inverclyde Leisure’s range of sporting and leisure facilities.
An Inverclyde Leisure spokesman, said: "Inverclyde leisure are delighted in the joint partnership development at Ravenscraig Activity Centre along with Inverclyde Council and feel by diversifying our range of products it gives Inverclyde residents a wider choice when choosing how to spend their leisure time within Inverclyde.
