CUSTOMER UPDATE 15/07/21

We are aware that the national legal restrictions affecting individuals and businesses due to the pandemic are being lifted from Monday 19^th July. However, with the high – and rising – case numbers locally, the risk to those who have yet to be vaccinated and the potential disruption to services and businesses due to high numbers of people having to self-isolate, there will be no change to the way in which leisure centres currently operate.

Customer access to Leisure facilities, including gyms, pools, classes, golf courses, football pitches and sailing, will continue to be available on a pre book and pay basis by telephone or online prior to arriving at a centre. Customers without a pre booked session will be unable to enter a facility or attend an activity.

 We strongly recommend the continued wearing of face coverings in public areas and ask users to continue to adhere to the core infection control measures that have been in place through the last 18 months.

The planned reopening of the fun pool at Europa Pools for the summer holidays will not now go-ahead due to rising rates of COVID-19 infections in Wirral.

Wirral’s infection rate is now the highest in the Liverpool City Region and in the top 20 nationally, with an average of 243 new cases every day and the borough is currently designated by government as an area of Enhanced Response.

Despite a government announcement on 12th July 2021 regarding a relaxation of COVID-19 regulations nationally, and an earlier decision by council to reopen the fun pool over the summer, officers have taken the decision to keep it closed on public health and protection grounds.

We apologise for any inconvenience but must maintain the safety of our guests as our main priority.

Thank you for your understanding.
