The Kingston councillor who resigned over a leisure centre says he is “broadly comfortable” with new plans for the site.

Jon Tolley quit the Liberal Democrat run administration as proposals to redevelop the Kingfisher, in his mind, were not deliverable.

Plans for a brand-new leisure centre were finally approved earlier this month more than five years after the old one shut its doors.

Mr Tolley says overall, the new centre should be an improvement.
