COVID - 19 Update

The Government  restrictions imposed on March 23rd meant that we had no alternative other than close the Centre at that time.  We were able to implement the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for most of our staff although retained a minimal cover on site to look after security and maintenance.

Unfortunately, our groundsman also needed to devote a lot of his time to clearing lots of litter on a daily basis. Although not the only local space to be badly affected, some Billericay residents are extraordinarily selfish in the way they dispose of their rubbish!  It seems that some people are able to carry full bottles, cans and packages to the site but are incapable of carrying empty ones away.

Here is a great sign that was seen in New Zealand: -

The good news is that we intend to implement a phased re-opening of most activities from 15th August with a view to being fully open by 1st September.

Sadly, the Covid-19 restrictions means that we are unable to open the bar in the immediate future. We are also unable to take any bookings for parties etc.
