RESIDENTS in Cricklade face a nail-biting few days to find out if their leisure centre will remain open or close forever.
Tonight, at a packed meeting at the town hall, they voted for a £6 increase in their council tax as part of a plan to keep the town's leisure centre open for business.
The increase - equivalent to 12p per week - will double the council tax precept they pay to Cricklade Town Council in the next financial year. It will raise £10,000 towards the fight to keep open the centre.
