Frustration is mounting among community members as the long-awaited leisure centre continues to face delays. Many fear the completed facility will consist merely of toilets, changing rooms, a soft play area, and a café—falling far short of expectations.
“We seem to be drifting from one year to the next with no firm commitment on when construction will begin,” said a concerned local resident. The lack of clear timelines and updates has only amplified anxieties about the project’s scope and usefulness.
Residents had hoped the new leisure centre would provide comprehensive recreational facilities, but current plans suggest a minimal offering. This perceived under-delivery has sparked calls for greater transparency and a more ambitious approach from those overseeing the project.
