Flintshire County Council statement regarding Aura

Published: 26/09/2024

Flintshire County Council’s contract with Aura Leisure and Libraries Ltd will come to an end next month.

It follows lengthy discussions between the Council and Aura this year to secure a long-term agreement for the future provision of leisure, library, play and museum services in the county.

A new contract was offered to Aura which has been declined. The Council is disappointed that agreement could not be reached on a longer-term arrangement given the commitment by members and officers and the positive steps taken to seek resolution.

The Council is keen to ensure a robust plan is in place and duly communicated in readiness for when the current contract expires on 31 October. The primary focus will now be to minimise disruption for service-users and provide assurance to Aura employees.
