With effect from 1st April 2026, the lease held by Life Leisure to operate Stockport Sports Village will terminate. From 1st April, responsibility for the operation of community football lettings will transfer to Stockport County. However, as a result of this transfer, the fitness provision at Stockport Sports Village including the gym, H1VE, and studio classes, will cease to operate.
The facility is owned by Stockport Council, who have been reviewing its long term future and considering the aspirations of Stockport County to expand its educational and Academy programmes. The fitness areas will be re-developed to facilitate that expansion and Stockport Council will be expanding the fitness provision at nearby Life Leisure Romiley as well as opening a brand new fitness and swimming facility in Marple later in 2026.
