Failsworth Leisure Centre – work is well under way in converting the excisting kicking fit facility to become a dual use space to include a designated Spin Studio and an upgraded young person’s gym provision with updated cardiovascular equipment for the school.
Oldham Leisure Centre Car Park - The long awaited installation of the new carpark barriers, at Oldham Leisure Centre, has now been signed off and all the equipment has been placed on order. Preliminary work will be taking place over the next couple of weeks to run new cabling between the barrier island and reception. This will cause minimal disruption, if any, to the existing parking but will facilitate a faster installation once the new system arrives.
