A replacement lift is to be installed at the Sports Centre in Wareham, making access to the gym and exercise facilities easier.
Due to mechanical issues the existing lift has been breaking down. This means customers who rely on it have to call a member of the sports centre staff in order to access the gym or studio.
Known as a platform lift, customers step on and transfer down a few steps to the gym and studio. Not only are the lift failures causing an inconvenience for customers, they are also resulting in call-out fees every time it has to be repaired.
Purbeck District Council has approved £20,000 for the installation of a replacement lift and work is due to start soon.
Michelle Goodman, Sports Centre Manager, said: “Enabling access to our facilities for all our customers has always been a top priority for the Sports Centre. We are pleased we will soon be able to once again offer them hassle-free access to our gym and exercise studio.
“Whilst the work is taking place, we will be making alternative arrangements to ensure all our customers have full access to all our facilities.”
