The National Aquatic Centre is being poorly maintained leading to an air of decay in the new facility, it has been claimed. Members complain of dirty changing areas, broken toilets as well as the build up of grime on mirrors, walls and underneath benches.

In the men's changing area urinals have been “temporarily closed” since June. In the sauna clients say grit has not been flushed from under seating areas. The Jacuzzi has remained broken and only in recent weeks have broken water fountains been repaired.

Even the centre’s entry system is not being maintained with now only one of three swipecard turnstiles in operation.

According to management the centre has been "let down by suppliers" while the company has pledged to better maintain hygiene at the facility.
