Update: Tottenham Green Pools and Fitness and Marcus Garvey Library and Customer Service Centre
Tottenham Green Pools and Fitness and Marcus Garvey Library and Customer Service Centre remain closed while we continue to work with our leisure partner Fusion Lifestyle to fix an issue with the electricity supply to the building.
We are committed to keeping residents informed about our work to get the centre back up and running, and are pleased to provide the following update:
- Works are commencing today (Monday 13 March) – one day earlier than previously expected – to rectify the low voltage power issue that has caused the closure.
- We are looking at every opportunity to get the library, customer service centre, gyms, studios, soft play and nursery open as swiftly as possible. Now that works are underway, we hope we will soon be able to give residents a timeframe for reopening these services.
- The pools will take longer to reopen due to the complexity of repairs required to the high voltage equipment they rely on. We continue to work with Fusion to ensure that every possible, financially viable avenue is explored to get the pools back up and running as soon as we can.
- As of today, we are opening a new study room at St Ann’s Library (Cissbury Road, Tottenham, London, N15 5PU) to provide Marcus Garvey Library users with more options for access to quiet study space during the closure. These spaces will be open to all, with no charge and no need to book, and will be open during normal library opening times (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - 9am to 7pm, Wednesday - 10am to 7pm, Saturday - 9am to 5pm).
Cllr Sarah Williams, Cabinet Member for Finance and Local Investment, said:
“I’m very pleased that contractors are on site today to start work on getting these vital services back up and running.
“I understand that the prolonged closure has caused a lot of inconvenience and frustration for residents. There is a highly complex electrical issue that requires specialist attention, but now that we have the right experts in place, I hope to soon be able to give residents a timeframe for reopening.
“I’m also pleased that we have been able to open a new study space at St Ann’s Library. I know just how important spaces for quiet study are for residents – especially our young people in the lead-up to exam season – and in the coming weeks we will be looking at opportunities to open up more of these spaces for residents to access.”
How to access services during the closure:
For residents who need customer service support, we have increased capacity at Wood Green Customer Service Centre (187-197A High Road, Wood Green, N22 6XD) for the duration of the closure, while residents are also able to access customer services online or by phone on 020 8489 1000.
