General Election arrangements for Cirencester Leisure Centre
Cirencester Leisure Centre will be the control centre for the general election organisation and count. This will mean a partial closure of the site from 25 June, with a full closure on Tuesday 2 July, which includes the car park.
Cotswold District Council’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Weaver said: “The general election has been called with just six weeks' notice. The Council’s team and Freedom Leisure have been doing a great job of working together to make sure we have the staff and resources needed to deliver the general election at short notice, whilst reducing the disruption to Leisure Centre users as much as possible.
“With the ongoing refurbishment of the leisure centre and the election being run from the centre, there will unfortunately be some disruption to normal services, as set out below. I’d like to thank people for their patience and understanding.”
The closures will include:
|
Main hall |
6pm Tuesday 25 June to 10pm Friday 5 July |
|
Squash courts |
9am Tuesday 2 July to 10pm Friday 5 July |
