A NEW gym at a former Grange-over-Sands cinema met with approval from South Lakeland District Council.

A recruitment company with offices below the gymnasium, at Palace Buildings on Main Street, expressed concerns to planners about noise, vibration and fire risk.

Applicant Richard Hunter, of Cark-in-Cartmel, told SLDC that no music would be played, floors would be carpeted, and weights would be placed on noise-dampening mats.
