THE Active gym at Fort Regent is to be kept open for longer than anticipated following delays to the opening of a new gym at Springfield, the government has said.
It has also announced that there are ‘no immediate plans’ to close the Fort’s Playzone.
In a statement, the government said: ‘Due to delays with the construction of the new Active gym at Springfield, the opening of the facility will unfortunately be later in the year than originally expected.
‘We will advise Active customers of the new re-opening date as soon as it is confirmed, but we expect the work will take at least a further three months to complete.
‘We apologise for the delay and thank customers for their patience.
‘Meanwhile, we are working to keep the Playzone at Fort Regent open. It had originally been anticipated that the soft play facility would close at the same time as Fort Regent’s Active gym (which was originally expected to be in September to coincide with the previously expected re-opening of Springfield’s gym).
‘We are now looking for resources to keep the Playzone open while alternative facilities for soft play are considered. There are no immediate plans to close the Playzone.’
