Exeter’s planned new state-of-the-art leisure complex in the city centre will be the greenest development of its kind anywhere in the country, the City Council has revealed.
St Sidwell’s Point, which will be at the heart of the redeveloped bus station site, will be Britain’s first Passivhaus leisure centre.

“The initial prognosis is that he’s going to be out for a little while – he may well require an operation,” said Baxter. “If he does he’ll have that very shortly, and then you’re talking about a six to eight week recovery period.”
