Resident enquired as to why the Paddington Rec Centre has taken away its Leisure card, which offered discounts to residents to access the fitness facilities at the centre

Currently Brent offers the B.Active leisure card which offers discounts at leisure centres for everyone aged 17 and over.   These are across the leisure centres in Brent as well as the Moberly Sports Centre which is in the Westminster borough, which is the only centre that is part of the B.Active scheme.   Applications are made directly to the leisure centre and details can be found on the link below;
