DOVERCOURT BAY LIFESTYLES TO RE-OPEN TOMORROW

A leisure centre in Dovercourt will re-open tomorrow (Tuesday, 17 April) after water supplies were restored to the facility.

Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles, in Low Road, had to close over the Easter bank holiday weekend after an issue with the external supply meant the amenity had no water.

The supply was restored last week and now, following water quality testing, the centre will re-open tomorrow.

Lee Heley, Corporate Director for Place and Economy at Tendring District Council (TDC) – which runs the leisure centre – said he was pleased to see Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles re-open.

“Once again I would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers as a result of this unexpected closure, and we look forward to welcoming people back from tomorrow,” Mr Heley said.

“My thanks go to all of our TDC staff who have worked tirelessly to get the centre back open as quickly as possible, as well as the leisure centre staff who have helped out at other centres during the period of closure.

“Staff will be busy today preparing to re-open the centre, and until Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles is open again members can continue to use the facilities at our other leisure centres.”
