‘Mechanical problem’ shuts All Seasons Leisure Centre in Chorley with patrons warned ‘closure may extend into weekend’

All Seasons Leisure Centre in Water Street was closed to the public due to a faulty chlorine gas sensor on Friday (May 6).

Chorley Council has confirmed a new sensor has been ordered and that it is hoped it will be installed by Monday (May 9).

Coun Alistair Bradley, Leader of Chorley Council, said: “People using All Seasons Leisure Centre may have noticed we have had to evacuate visitors a couple of times over the past week.

“This has been due to the chlorine gas sensor being activated – on each occasion there has not been a chlorine gas leak and we have now identified the equipment as being faulty.

“We have ordered a new sensor that we are hoping to have in place on Monday, which will mean we can then re-open.

“We appreciate people’s patience and hope people understand that everyone’s safety needs to come first.”
