Enfield leisure centres to be revamped
Enfield Council has begun consultations with Fusion Leisure over a £8.9m redevelopment programme of its leisure services and facilities.
Work is due to start on the first centre, Southbury Leisure Centre, in November followed by Southgate and Albany Leisure Centres in 2011. The centres are managed by Fusion on behalf of the council.
Proposed changes at Southbury include improvements to the gym, refurbishment of the dry changing areas and improvements to the group exercise studios.
Fusion has appointed the Clarkson Alliance to design and manage the improvement programme.
Councillor Bambos Charalambous from Enfield Council said: "The plans are progressing well and we're delighted things have moved on so swiftly.
"As well as presentation meetings with current users and the local community, information will be on display information in the centres and mechanics for the community to provide feedback.
Peter Kay, chief executive of Fusion Lifestyle said, "We are working with Enfield Council to bring about necessary improvements that will make a big difference to Enfield's leisure centres.
"Southbury is the first centre in the refurbishment programme. As a modern centre it has excellent facilities but is due for refreshing and updating to make it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone to use."
