Rebecca Maxwell, Corporate Director said:
“The Council has involved in discussions with Clwyd Leisure this week and we understand that the company has decided to wind-up the company and is intending to appoint an insolvency practitioner to carry out the work.
“We understand that the decision by the Board of Clwyd Leisure has not been taken lightly and they consider this to be the only viable option available to them. Any insolvency firm appointed will look at dealing with all the main creditors, including Denbighshire County Council as landlords and with staff currently employed by Clwyd Leisure.
“The Council has worked closely with Clwyd Leisure over recent years to try and help address the issues that have been raised around the management and running of the facilities. We feel that we have done our utmost to assist the company .
“Once the keys have been handed over to the Council, our staff will be carrying out a full condition survey. That will allow us to determine if we are going to be able to get them open.
“We recognise this will be an unsettling time for everyone involved, in particular the staff, while the company closes down. The Council has already made it quite clear that, should it decide to take over the running of the facilities, current staff employed by Clwyd Leisure would be considered first. The Council will also look at promoting suitable vacancies within the Council if they become available.”
