‘Grim’ changing facilities at Kirkstall Leisure Centre are to be refurbished following years of lobbying.
Work is set to include existing fixtures and fittings being stripped out in male and female changing rooms and ew benching, cubicles, toilets and vanity units installed.
White hygienic wall cladding will be installed, the existing floor will be deep cleaned and new decorations added.
New resin flooring will be installed on the walkways of the main and learner pools, and in the small pool tank.
The move has been welcomed by Kirkstall councillors Fiona Venner, Hannah Bithell and Andy Rontreee. In a statement they said: “After years of lobbying on behalf of our constituents, we have received the happy news that the swimming pool changing rooms are going to be fully refurbished!”
The refurbishment will take place between 10 November and 2 January, which will see the the swimming pool closed. Dry side activities such as classes, squash and gymnastics will continue to operate.Â
The Leisure Centre will be open at reduced times while work is taking place: Monday-Friday 8am-10.30pm (10pm on Friday) Saturday 8am-1pm, Sunday 9am-12.30pm.
The works have been welcomed on social media. One commenter said the ‘grim’ changing rooms also needed new flooring.
