Solar panel work to cause disruption in leisure centre car park

Five Rivers Leisure Centre are warning visitors of potential disruption in their car park as solar panel canopies are installed.

The Wiltshire Council-owned and run leisure centre has had a large amount of solar panels already installed, and this is the final phase of work.

It’s expected the work will take around six weeks and mean that parking spaces will be reduced and there will be changes to traffic flow at times.

They said, “Please be aware that the final phase of the project to install solar canopies in the car park will start from Thursday 22nd February.

“This is likely to cause some disruption over the coming weeks, which we will look to minimise as best we can:

• Reduced number of spaces available during these works
• Alterations to traffic management in the car park
• Signage will be in place where necessary to make access and traffic flow as easy as possible
• Throughout the duration of the works, temporary disabled parking bays will be provided.

“Please plan your trip accordingly to ensure you arrive for your activity in good time. We anticipate this period of works to take approximately 6 weeks.

“We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.”
