Further to the Government advice from the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary's statement on coronavirus (COVID-19) on the 9th July 2020. We can now begin to welcome back some of our staff, hirers and guests, subject to government detailed guidance being followed.
From Saturday 25th July, people will no longer have to work out in the park, on the Common or on the living room floor. You are able to get back into gyms, indoor swimming pools, leisure centres, and to our Galleywood Heritage Centre for the first time in months.
We want to continue to protect the health of our staff and customers, so a few things have changed with the way we operate the centre. We have prepared the centre for your return this includes additional cleaning procedures , floor markings, room capacity reductions (subject to government detailed guidance being followed),and entry/exit one way system, hand sanitisers and PPE for our staff where necessary. We have unfurloughed all of our staff on part time hours, we are closely following government guidance regarding reopening, and we will increase hours as and when each class/hirer requires us, to allow them a COVID-19 secure return.
