Update Phase 2
Phase 2 is underway, and the new changing rooms and locker system are to open the 13th April 2018.
Phase 3
Gym area
Phase 3 is due to commence 26th March 2018. This will involve the cardio area of the gym, and the equipment from this area will be temporarily moved in to sports hall B.
The weights section of the gym will remain open to customers, with work not commencing in this area until June 2018.
Access to the upper gym and activity rooms between 26th March – 13th April will be via the lift in the gym. After the 13th April this will be through the corridor and staircase outside halls A&B.
Squash courts and outdoor football
Between the 9th and 13th April the squash courts will be out of action due to a new floor being laid in the corridor. During this time the outdoor football pitch will also be out of use for repair work too the fencing.
In order to upgrade the centre to a modern and attractive facility, such disruption is inevitable and we hope you can bear with us. If you find you are heavily inconvenienced or have any questions please email us.
