Vandalism to the roofing and subsequent water ingress has caused the Leisure
Centre to remain closed due to water damage to the emergency lighting, fire
alarm, and electrical installations in a number of locations necessitating partial
replacement of the water damaged components and wiring, funded by
insurers. As a consequence of replacing these sections of the installations the
current regulatory conditions required a whole replacement of the systems to
meet current regulations in order to achieve final certification.

Both insured and uninsured re-instatement works are well underway however
to ensure the Centre can be re-opened the uninsured elements of the
regulatory electrical, emergency lighting and fire alarm installations need to
be improved and made compliant.
