All leisure centres to remain closed today

DUE to the weather forecast and unpredictable travel conditions Shetland Recreational Trust (SRT) has been decided to keep all of its facilities closed today (Wednesday).

A review of opening for tomorrow will take place later today and will be communicated via local media, individual facility social media channels, SRT App and the SRT website.

Head of operations Robert Geddes said: “The safety of our customers and staff is paramount. Whilst it’s disappointing that the buildings are closed many of our facilities have staff travelling from out with the locality of the facility and we need to ensure they can do so safely.

“We will review the opening for tomorrow and look at ways to get services running again using staff who are based close to the facilities.”
