The facility, which temporarily closed earlier this year, awaits essential structural repairs to its roof and windows, alongside lighting upgrades. Local Conservative councillors Robert Alden and Gareth Moore expressed deep frustration after learning that the restoration work may not begin until November. They highlighted that this delay could expose the building to winter weather, potentially exacerbating damage and increasing future repair costs.
