Active Nation Closures

Simon Walters, Directorate for Communities and Environment at City of Lincoln Council, said:

"We are sorry to learn that Active Nation has ceased trading with immediate effect.

 

"Active Nation was responsible for operating two leisure centres in our buildings at Yarborough and Birchwood. Their announcement will no doubt cause considerable concern to users of those two facilities, and of course to the staff employed in them.

 

"We know that staff have worked incredibly hard to try to keep facilities running during some very tough trading conditions in the leisure industry, and we'd like to express our sympathies to everyone who will be in any way affected by Active Nation’s announcement.

 

"This is a very sad development, and we would advise all Active Nation customers with pre-paid memberships to contact their bank, card provider or the liquidator/administrator once appointed. 

 

"The city council is now in the process of repossessing our buildings and assessing our available options."
