The decision comes after Fusion Lifestyle, the previous operator managing centers in Frome, Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Street, and Wells, entered administration on April 1 due to severe financial difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic. To prevent immediate closures, the council initially provided £370,000 in interim funding, keeping the leisure sites operational for three months while seeking a new service provider.
