On my first and only visit I stayed no longer than 30 minutes including getting changed. After walking down the stairs which had cigarette ends on them this was not a good first impression. I entered the changing rooms which were dirty and I really did not want to walk on the floor bare foot. It took me 6 different lockers before I found one that worked.
I entered the pool area which seemed clean enough. I got in the pool swam 5 metres then got back out again, as it was so could I was shivering.
I had paid the extra money to use the spa facilities, I use this in the loosest sense of the word. There was a very small sauna which got cramped after four people got in, then moved onto the steam room that was equally small and smelt of mould and very stale air, not pleasant in the slightest.
Having had enough of my experience in the council facility I decided it was time to leave, so headed for the exit via the Leisure Centre Manager. I spoke to him about the state of the entire place and he was quite shocked about the cleanliness and stated he would get it sorted.
Overall quite a shame that this is an old leisure centre that is really showing its age, and makes me not want to visit again. read more
