As you will be aware, Clacton Leisure Centre provides a large range of activities within the Sports Hall, as part of these provisions a storage location is allocated behind fire shutters within the Sports Hall to ensure the safe storage of items such as gymnastics and trampolining equipment.
In a recent safety inspection, the shutter doors have been marked as unsafe for use due to age and level of repair required. This has meant that the shutter doors have been forced to be remained open and fixed at their top point, substantially increasing the chances of someone accessing this area and at risk of endangerment. Whilst everything has been done at Centre level to reduce this risk it is impossible to eliminate without the doors and should a fire break out the area is exposed.
