Major works on Mayo leisure facility will involve period of closure

A significant refurbishment of Westport Leisure Park will take place next year.

The programme is due to start on March 22, with overall substantial completion by September 3.

Works will be split into two phases.

Phase one (March 22 to June 11) involves covering roof and building fabric upgrades, windows and doors, and associated internal works.

And the second phase, starting on June 14, includes the pool roof and ceiling works, new pool cover, boiler house and pool ventilation upgrades.

Noting it involves shutting down for a period of time, Councillor Peter Flynn has asked for an update on the overall project and transition arrangements.

Councillor Brendan Mulroy was concerned for the impacted staff and seconded the proposal.
