Deepings Leisure Centre closed after heavy rain caused leak

A leisure centre has been closed while the condition of the building is reviewed.

The Deepings Leisure Centre in Park Road, Deeping St James, sprang a leak after heavy rain this week.

A spokesman for South Kesteven District Council said: “We apologise to anyone who was disrupted by the temporary closure of the leisure centre earlier this week.

“Due to the rainfall on Tuesday evening, we were forced to cancel a number of classes and facilities at the centre after rainwater leaked through the roof and caused localised flooding in the car park and the centre.

“While the situation has been quickly contained, health and safety remains our highest priority.

"After reviewing the situation, we have decided to temporarily close the Leisure Centre while the condition of the building is assessed and reviewed.”
