THE public in Harrogate will be allowed to continue using a local sports centre.

This week, Harrogate Borough Council and Rossett school agreed that the sports facilities and all-weather pitch at Rossett sports centre will remain open for community use after the school takes over management of the centre next week.

The sports coaching and activity programme at Rossett sports centre will continue to be provided by Harrogate Borough Council, but will transfer to the Jennyfield Styan centre, and the council will provide the school with a grant towards refurbishing the sports centre.
