As you will be aware, the first floor changing, shower and toilet areas at Clacton Leisure Centre have been closed for centre users since February’24, as water leaks from these areas have caused water ingress and substantial damage at various ground floor areas including the Wellbeing Zone.
Further to a leak-detection survey report it has been established that the existing drainage system needs to be reassessed and re-designed including floor falls. Further to that, these interior areas will require an overall make-over. The priority at this stage is to deliver necessary building condition rectifications to bring disused spaces back into use in a cost-efficient manner and at speed, to increase capacity in the short term prior to the redevelopment coming forwards.
