Exactly what damage has happened to cause the leisure centre to permanently close?
Why did Wednesday's announcement come when it did? The update came just days after the city council elections and on the eve of IKEA opening hmmmm.
Is the likely closure of Clifton Hill due to the council's plans to build a new leisure centre?
If Clifton Hill does close then it's not yet clear what will be done with the site.
It's prime land in Exeter city centre that developers are likely to be interested in.
Will the leisure centre be demolished and will the land remain in public possession?
