Descriptions

Update 14 November 2025, 10:35am

The light in the building of the Elsan is broken and needs to be repaired. The lock on the door of the Elsan is also faulty.

The Elsan facility will be locked down whilst contractors attend to complete electricial testing of the of the building and to carry out any remedial work that is needed. Once the light in the Elsan block has been declared fixed and has passed the electricial testing and the lock has been fixed, it will be reopened.

The showers and toilets will remain closed.

We will update the notice when we receive further information on the progress of the works.
