The new look South Charnwood Leisure centre is due to open this month after its £3.1 million refurbishment which will give the residents of Syston and surrounding villages an exceptional facility that includes a new gym and dance studio, featuring the very latest equipment, as well as new changing rooms and additional car parking. The swimming pool hall, current changing rooms and reception have all been refurbished and the heating, electrical and filtration plants have all been replaced.
Officials from Charnwood Borough Council and contractors G F Tomlinson attended a ‘topping out’ ceremony on July 29th to formally mark the completion of the extension to the building.
Councillor Peter Lewis, Charnwood Borough Council’s Cabinet member for Leisure and Culture, said: “I can’t wait to see it open and celebrate more good news for everyone in these nationally worrying and grim times.”
Barry Sewards, the Chairman of G F Tomlinson, added: “It is always very rewarding to be involved in a project for the benefit of all the public.”
A temporary office is now open on the school playing fields in front of South Charnwood Leisure Centre, for people to enquire about membership opportunities for the gym and pool.
There are some great deals on offer and further details can be obtained by calling into the office between 12 noon and 8.00pm Monday to Friday and 10.00am to 2.00pm on Saturdays.
Alternatively, call 0116 264 0057 and speak to Kevin Stanley or Helen Bird.
