Locker Update
We’re aware that several of our lockers are currently out of use due to the need for new locks. Unfortunately, some users have been taking the locker keys with them, turning them into ‘personal lockers’. To resolve this, we’ve reached out to a company that specialises in servicing all of our lockers, including those that are locked. We placed an order back in July to address the issue, but as the locking mechanisms are manufactured in Switzerland, the process is taking longer than anticipated.
However, we can confirm that we’re switching the dry changing room lockers to padlocks instead of keys. We hope this will help prevent misuse and ensure more lockers are available for everyone.
Thank you for your patience!
