'Investing in Leisure Programme

Dulwich Leisure Centre ? Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the programme schedule for Dulwich Leisure Centre?

The construction work commenced (on time) on Tuesday 5 May 2009. The revised two work phases are:

Phase 1 ? May 2009 to September 2010 ? Pool, roof, wet side changing rooms, new entrance building and

studios

Phase 2 ? September 2010 to March 2011 ? Gym, dry side changing rooms, staff area and renovated old

entrance...'


They are blaming snow and vandalism/burglary.

Mr Barber, just got to say that since your party decided to jump into bed with the Tories, you're spelling has deteriorated badly. Every posting of yours is riddled with errors. Much like the Condem government. It must be difficult knowing that you're going to feel the full backlash of the electorate when your time comes. Well done on winning in May. Treasure the victory....you won't be seeing another one again. Best Tony

I've just been told by council officers that the new reception area and pool will open the weekend 25/26 September. Sneak preview for councillors, etc 23 September. Frustrating that its slipped a week in a week, but guess this is worknig out the final timetable and frankly just relieved it now booked.

Get you cossie's and towerls ready East Dulwich.

Sorry if this has been asked before (I don't have the time to sift through five pages worth of posts!) but does anyone what will happen whilst the gym is being refurbed? Will there be any sort of temporary gym or will we be directed to the nearest Fusion?

I can tell you that we are planning for a pool re-opening for Dulwich Leisure Centre at the end of September... more news to follow at the end of the month.

Meanwhile, please look at the posting in the General News section on this forum to get involved in the 'Memories' campaign at Dulwich.

Gawd, I've missed having the pool just around the corner from me and look forward to the grand opening(whenever that may be). Does anyone know if my Fusion membership will still be valid at East Dulwich? I only ask because I know that you cant use it at Brockwell despite it being a Fusion Gym.

It's good to see such a positive outlook to the re-opening of Dulwich!


Regarding the gym, there will be one relocated in the new building at Dulwich, however it will be reduced in size whilst the new gym is being built.


Stay positive and share the good news!

Oh, Julie, give me and the rest of us a break from your Pollyana-ish nonsense! The pool is six months behind schedule, which is not acceptable, likewise the excuse (no, not reason) given that it was because of the cold weather. I am not a typically cynical, bash-the-politicians type, but I am a realist and apply common sense and reasonable-mindedness to my criticisms. The Dulwich Baths Affair is officially a FAIL.

I think if Julie came on and made a public apology for the work being so delayed...that would go some way to

meeting us half way.



I cant remember the exact timescales...but this work has been delayed from May to July to August to end Of September.


I really do hope that Dulwich Leisure Centre stick to their word and open the pool on 25/26th September


This seems such a shame that the lovely hot summer will be over by the time the pool opens.

    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps

    • Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much.  I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.  I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others.  I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age).  Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going.  If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy.  We shall see......... Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
