Inside the closed (but re-openable) Purley Leisure centre

Purely for interest and to keep memories alive, here are some photos I took while a small group was being shown round the closed leisure centre building yesterday

The photos show: 

  • The empty pool
  • One of three air-handling units which need replacing 
  • A poignant reminder of the day when the pool was opened
  • Superficial wear and tear to the balance tank
  • Abandoned Tesco trollies
  • Sadly idle gym equipment.

Today is the one year anniversary of my election as the first ever Executive Mayor of Croydon.

I will always be grateful for the support that Croydon's voters gave me in that election. I have never taken this support for granted.
