Refurbishment Progress

Wombourne Leisure Centre update

Wombourne Leisure Centres reception has moved back into the leisure centre this week.  Customers can now access facilities through the leisure centre, meaning that visitors no longer need to enter the building at the rear.  The leisure centre is now able to take cash and card payments.

Cheslyn Hay Leisure Centres swimming pool refurbishment is almost complete and we are now in the process of testing pool plant operations in preparation for the re-opening of the facility. The pool remains closed for now but we hope to be able to re-open the facility in the very near future. The pool changing rooms are still undergoing refurbishment therefore customers will need to initially robe and go.

A big heartfelt Thankyou to the Walk Leader Volunteers

Wellbeing walk

Baggeridge Country Park received some lovely feedback recently about the Wellbeing Walks:  

‘The trails and pathways that go through Baggeridge Country Park provide a stunning location for the wellbeing walks.  The overriding success of the group walks over the past 12 months must be attributed to the walk leaders whose functions range from leader through to the back markers…their kindness, enthusiasm and dedication are second to none’.  

‘The walks provide an opportunity for physical wellbeing  at different levels, but there is also a camaraderie and social aspect that often continues with welcome refreshments in the park café at the end of the walk’.  

As a walker, I’s like to say a big heartfelt “Thankyou” to the band of volunteers that have made our Thursday mornings so enjoyable - without them - the 10am meet at the bandstand would not happen! Many congratulations to all concerned.
