Ealing Borough Leisure Centres Begin Phased Reopening
Indoor activities to take place with strict operational measure to prevent infection
Leisure centres in Ealing borough are set to reopen from Monday 12 April, after receiving the government’s go ahead for Step 2 of the roadmap.
Everyone Active leisure centres have been subject to a three-month closure due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The roadmap includes detail on which facilities can reopen within each step, meaning some may not be available at the centre in the first instance.
Gyms and swimming pools will be open and indoor sports activities for under 18s can restart but adult group fitness classes and aqua classes are not able to resume until 17 May.
The government confirmed on Monday 5 April that leisure centres would be allowed to reopen with strict operational measures in place. This is the latest stage of the four-step roadmap plan and follows the reopening of several outdoor activities at Everyone Active sites on Monday 29 March, including Brent Valley and Perivale Park Golf Course.
Northolt High School Sports Centre will reopen on Monday 17 May. Swift Road Outdoor Sports Centre will remain closed at this stage and all customers will be communicated to directly regarding its reopening.
Phil Edwards, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said, “We’re very much looking forward to reopening our centres and welcoming back the local community.
“After being closed for three months, the latest step in the Government’s Roadmap is a positive move forward for the leisure industry and gives people of all ages the opportunity to resume activity and exercise in their leisure centre.
“Ensuring our colleagues and customers remain safe continues to be our number one priority and we have carefully considered the strict measurements to ensure we adhere to the guidance.
“We will be contacting all customers directly over the coming days regarding the centres reopening. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and thank them for their patience.”
