Builth Wells Sports Centre and Gym will be introducing new term-time opening hours from Tuesday, September 2.

The changes are being made to support school access and safeguarding requirements, with the council saying the move will help ensure “a safe and secure environment for all.”

From that date, the gym and sports centre will be open between 6am–8:30am and 5pm–9:30pm on weekdays during school terms.

The council confirmed that new, extended opening hours will be in place during school holidays.

Swimming pool times will not be affected, and junior activities will continue as normal from 4pm, Monday to Friday.

A spokesperson said: “We appreciate the community’s understanding and co-operation as we work closely with the school to provide safe access for students while continuing to deliver leisure services for the Builth Wells community.”
