Chesterfield and Staveley leisure centres closed until further notice

Councillor Jill Mannion-Brunt, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “We have made the important decision to close these facilities to the public in line with Government guidance and with the aim of reducing the possible spread of the coronavirus.

“At this difficult time, it is vital that we all take our own health and wellbeing seriously, I would like to remind residents that our parks remain open in order to allow you to walk and exercise whilst maintaining social distancing.”

Anyone who is a member of our leisure centres will have their membership suspended. Direct debit payments will not be collected until the centres return to being fully operational.

For further information or advice on membership suspension please email [email protected] for Queen’s Park, or [email protected] for the Healthy Living Centre.
