Holsworthy Leisure Centre and Sports Hall – Temporary Closure

27 November 2024 News, Torridge 0 Comments

In October we were delighted to announce that Holsworthy Leisure Centre has received over £1,000,000 in funding from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. The scheme provides grants for public sector bodies to fund heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures. The money will be used to install new air to water heat pumps which will replace the existing oil boiler. The new heating system will not only help to significantly the costs associated with heating the building, swimming pool and hot water, but it will dramatically reduce carbon emissions.

 

The project is moving forward, and preparatory works have now started as we begin to develop the detail. This has involved undertaking studies and surveys to help us plan out the work in a safe sequence that will limit disruption to the local community and users of the facilities. Inspecting the parts of the premises that will be affected by the project works has identified internal areas where asbestos material is present.

 

Before any further work can take place in these areas the material needs to be safely removed by our specialist contractors. To facilitate these works the decision has been taken to temporarily close the facilities to enable the work to be completed in the safest and shortest time possible.

 

We appreciate that this closure is at short notice and is not part of our wider project plan, but it is important that we act responsibly in managing this part of the project in the appropriate manner. We will therefore be conducting further survey and monitoring work throughout the removal process to provide assurance to members that the facilities will only be re-opened when the works have been completed and the areas are cleared for ongoing use.

 

At this stage we expect the premises to remain closed during December, but open again for the New Year. There will be further periods of closure necessary throughout 2025 and these will be planned as part of the main works. In the meantime, we apologise to the community for any inconvenience caused and commit to doing everything possible to complete this initial phase of preparatory work as quickly as possible. Active Torridge will be contacting Holsworthy Members directly.

 

Further updates will be available on both Active Torridge and Torridge District Council websites and social media pages as the project progresses.

Kings Coronation -Big Help Out Day – Holsworthy

3 April 2023 Events, Information, News, Projects 0 Comments

Tidy, Titivate & Tart up the Town- Monday 8th May

The King has suggested that as part of the Coronation Celebrations communities across the country get involved in volunteering on a Big Help Out day on Monday 8th May and highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities across the Nation.

Holsworthy Town Council would like to encourage organisations and individuals in the Town to come up with a one day project which aims to enhance the appearance of Holsworthy to be carried out on Monday 8th May 2023. It is hoped that local organisations could work on their ‘own patch’, help another organisation or choose an area of the town to enhance.

Some Suggestions brought forward are:

– Litter picking
– Cleaning signs
– Renovating flower beds
– Cleaning & Painting of community facilities
– Cleaning public areas
– Emptying gutters
– Help a Neighbour
– Tidy up Manor Car Park after the Coronation Celebrations

The Council would love organisations to contact them at townclerk@holsworthytowncouncil.gov.uk with any small project they wish to do as part of the Big Help Out Day which can be advertised in the run up to the day. Individuals who want to get involved can also email the Council or pick a project which may suit them best and join in! Please make contact with the town council if you are interested and we will put you on the list!

The Town Council may be able to provide support through supply of equipment such as hi-vis jackets, litter picking tools, bin bags and cleaning materials subject to availability – feel free to enquire.
Currently the ideal times for volunteering on this day would be between 11am and 4pm. You do not need to volunteer the whole duration.
No project too small! We welcome all project suggestions and look forward to hearing them!

The important bit – The Town Council would also like to invite all those who take part in the day to a ‘Pasty and a drink’ event in Holsworthy Memorial Hall from 4pm on the 8th May as a thank you to all volunteers in the town. This will be a chance to recognise the amazing work volunteers carry out all year round and get everybody together to celebrate, network and share our volunteering experiences.
