MyActive Glossop will be temporarily closed for a few days next month to facilitate essential survey work and to consider potential improvements to the centre’s health and fitness offering.
The leisure centre will be closed from Monday 4 to Saturday 9 November. It will re-open on Sunday 10 November at the usual time of 8am.
Councillor Damien Greenhalgh, Deputy Leader and Executive Councillor for Regeneration, Tourism and Leisure, said: “We are committed to maintaining the high standard of services that Glossop residents and visitors expect from our new Council-owned leisure and wellbeing company, MyActive.
“The safety of our customers, visitors and staff is always at the heart of everything we do so it’s essential that we carry out this survey work. At the same time, we’re taking the opportunity to review the potential for making investment in this facility.
“We understand this short closure will impact on our customers and I’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we work to ensure a safe and improved centre for everyone.”
MyActive Glossop members can continue to use the facilities at our High Peak centres MyActive Buxton and MyActive New Mills during the closure.
It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
New facilities designed to give disabled customers the confidence to travel by train have been installed at dozens of stations across the North of England.
