THE ribbon has been cut on refurbished changing rooms at Burntwood Leisure Centre.

Lichfield District Council said the facilities would provide a "brighter, more welcoming and accessible environment" for visitors using the swimming pool.

The work began in March and has seen new cubicles, lockers, doors and partitions, as well as a full redecoration.

Cllr Andy Smith, cabinet member for leisure and major projects at Lichfield District Council, said:

"For many local people, Burntwood Leisure Centre is where they learned to swim, joined a club, got active or spent time with family and friends. That’s why continuing to invest in facilities like these is so important.

"We’ve already seen the positive impact of the refurbished gym at Burntwood and the new leisure centre in Lichfield – and this latest improvement is another example of our commitment to providing facilities that help people lead healthier, happier lives.

“I’m delighted to see the new changing village open and look forward to seeing residents enjoy it for years to come."

Rosalind Hallifax, a user of Burntwood Leisure Centre, said: 

"I have been very impressed by the way the work has been done with minimum disruption and the end result is very impressive.

"It will help me to enjoy the pool even more than before. I have been a regular user of the facilities, including the coffee bar, for many years.”
