I have been a member of Armthorpe Leisure Centre for around 15 years, but unfortunately the condition of the showers and changing facilities has declined to an unacceptable level.Over the past several months I have repeatedly raised concerns with DCLT (Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust) about hygiene in the changing rooms, particularly the showers. The issues include:Mould in silicone seals in the shower cubiclesYellow staining on wall and floor tilesGrime and residue on shower headsDirty drain edges and build-up in grout linesDust-blocked extraction vents that appear not to be workingCeiling tiles with yellow water stainingStrong unpleasant odours in the changing roomsThe locker situation is also poor.

I also know of other long-term members who have either left or are considering leaving because of the same issues.What is particularly frustrating is that I have contacted DCLT directly about this multiple times without receiving any response.Emails were sent to:Chris Wright – DCLTMichael Hart – DCLTThe general DCLT contact emailDespite providing detailed feedback and photographs, there has been no reply and no visible improvement.Members have recently been notified that membership fees are increasing by around £4 per month.
