David Lloyd Leisure fined £2.5m over death of three-year-old boy in Leeds

Gym chain pleaded guilty to breach of health and safety law five years after incident

One of Britain’s biggest gym and leisure chains has been fined more than £2.5m after a three-year-old boy drowned in one of its swimming pools.

David Lloyd Leisure was fined on Tuesday by a judge at Leeds crown court after the company last month pleaded guilty to a breach of health and safety law.
