Activities

Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre will be used as an administrative location during the forthcoming local elections. 

We will endeavour to minimise the disruption to your facility access as much as possible, but there will be some impact to services during this time. 

To enable our Election team time and space to prepare for the count, casual Sports Hall bookings between Friday 25 April - Friday 2 May will be extremely limited.

On the day of the election count itself; Friday 2 May, the sports hall, squash courts and all communal areas in the building, including the atrium and reception, will be closed to leisure members. This will come into effect at 8.45am and be in place until the end of the day.
