Places Leisure has been running Wokingham Borough Council’s leisure centres for a year now – and to mark the anniversary, is seeking volunteers to join focus groups to give feedback on the service.
As the council’s contractor, Places Leisure runs:
-
Loddon Valley Leisure Centre
-
Carnival Pool Leisure Centre
-
Ryeish Green Sports Hub
-
Arborfield Green Leisure Centre
-
St Crispins Leisure Centre
-
Bulmershe Leisure Centre
During its first year, Places Leisure has invested £2million at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre to create a 100-station gym and a soft-play area that will open later this month. Further investment has lead to the demolition and current rebuild of Bulmershe Leisure Centre and Carnival Pool Leisure Centre.
A series of focus groups are being organised to see what centre users think of these investments and the way Places Leisure is operating. The focus groups will be at:
-
Wednesday May 15 at Arborfield Leisure Centre
-
Thursday May 16 – Carnival Pool Leisure Centre
-
Thursday 6th June – Loddon Valley Leisure Centre
-
Tuesday 11th June -St Crispin’s Leisure Centre
-
Thursday 13th June – Ryeish Green Sports Hub
All the sessions will be from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and refreshments will be provided.
Executive member for Environment, Libraries and Leisure Cllr John Halsall said: “Places Leisure has put a lot of investment into our centres and will be carrying out further improvements but it is always important to get the customers’ views and these focus groups are a good opportunity for that.
“I urge those who use the centres or live nearby to sign up for one of the sessions to give us their views.”
