Possible disruptions to facilities due to Omicron

As Omicron makes it’s way through the community, it is possible that some of our facilities (library and pool) will be disrupted if our staff become unwell or need to isolate.

We want to be able to give you a heads up about some of the changes you might experience. Some of these will happen at short notice, so please keep checking our Facebook feeds, check our websites or give the facility a call before you plan to visit.

As our facilities become impacted by Omicron, you could experience

  • A change to opening hours
  • Periods of closure
  • A reduction in services (for example, the library may only be available for click and collect service)

We will contact you if you have made a booking.

Thank you in advance for your patience and support towards our staff as they work through this challenging time.
