⚠️ Important Update on Road Access to Willows Sports Centre ⚠️

Due to emergency water main works on Cathedral Road, we are experiencing access issues. The road closure is expected to last for the remainder of the day and possibly into the weekend.

To access the centre:

🚗 From Curzon Street, use Cheapside and then Bold Lane. Exit via Curzon Street (and vice versa).

🚫 Access via Cathedral Road and the traffic lights onto the Ring Road is not currently possible.*

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding as this is out of our control. We’ll share updates as soon as we have more information.
