May update

A range of important works have already been completed on site, however delays with contract management have impacted complete demolition of the centre. At this stage, we expect to begin larger-scale works from mid-winter. This delay has impacted our expected opening date, which is now early 2021.

To minimise the impact of these delays, we have started early works on site, including:

• emptying all pools in line with City West Water regulations
• undertaking hazard audits that involve demolition of walls, floors and ceilings
• removing and relocating equipment to Neighbourhood Fitness Hubs and other leisure centres
• undertaking complete environmental tests such as soil and ground conditions
• auctioning of assets and equipment to reduce items going to landfill.
