Repairs to fixtures and fittings in the changing rooms, the replacement of seating and maintenance of heating and drainage equipment will be carried out at the site off Bath Avenue from Monday, November 10 to Wednesday, November 12. To enable the work to be completed safely and efficiently, the swimming pool and the male and female changing rooms will be closed all day on November 10. Gym and group exercise classes will operate as normal and toilets will be available. The female changing room and swimming pool will re-open on Tuesday, November 11, though the male changing room will remain closed on the Tuesday and Wednesday for continued maintenance. Male swimmers are welcome to use the pool on these days, but are advised they will need to arrive and leave in swimwear under their clothing, as was the case during the Covid-19 restrictions. There will be no swimming lessons from Noveber 10 to 12. Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Wolverhampton Council cabinet member for health, wellbeing and community, said: “WV Active Central is highly valued by WV Active members, and this essential maintenance work is key to ensuring it continues to support people’s health, fitness, and wellbeing for years to come. “As part of their membership, customers are welcome to use any of our three WV Active centres, and so we hope the improvements taking place next week cause minimal disruption, as we invest in the future of this valued site.” Alternative facilities at WV Active Aldersley or WV Active Bilston - Bert Williams will be open while this work takes place. Due to the PDC Grand Slam of Darts taking place at WV Active Aldersley, revised opening hours will be in place. From November 10-12 the gym will be open from 6.30am to 3pm.
