Speaking on behalf of The Highland Council and High Life Highland, East Caithness Community Facility Manager, Alan Larnach confirmed that the Wick campus site’s pool and fitness area will reopen to the public on Monday 31st August at 7am.
“This is the news we have been waiting for, and I am absolutely positive our local highlife members and customers will be delighted to be regaining access to the location at the start of the week.
“High Life Highland fully appreciated that The Highland Council’s priority was to ensure school pupils returned to fulltime education safely, and we have supported that position throughout.
“However, I am pleased that through positive and open discussions at a senior level in both organisations we have managed to reach an agreement that East Caithness Community Facility will be the first joint school and community facility in the Highlands to reopen.
“The team and I are very much looking forward to seeing our local users return to the location on the day the Scottish Government’s restrictions for access to leisure centres and swimming pools are lifted.”
