A £2m refurbishment of Court Garden Leisure Complex in Marlow has been completed.
Organised by Buckinghamshire Council, the revamped centre boasts a new roof to the swimming pool and main building, refurbished swim changing areas, a new sports hall floor, boilers, and plant replacement alongside redecoration work across parts of the complex, including the main reception.

"Although some services have reluctantly had to remain suspended, activities are up and running, so I would encourage local people to see how their fitness and wellbeing could benefit from these improved facilities.
“During the latest national spike in the pandemic, it is more important than ever to stay safe and stay fit to help your body defend against the virus."
