Negative experience: Wouldn't hurry back. On entry staff were friendly, place seemed clean but very gloomy. Went into changing rooms to it being in darkness, then having to leave the changing rooms to go into the toilet. Went in for a swim and I was the only one in the pool which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. (I know this isn't the centres fault) then back into the changing rooms which were freezing, went to use the shower and the water went everywhere except on your body lifted my towel into the shower and due to then being so small the shower was hit on again resulting in my towel being soaked. Didn't have a great experience, this leisure centre is badly due refurbishment.
