Loch Centre: Renovation

As part of East Lothian Council’s previously announced £5 million investment in the Loch Centre, major refurbishment works will soon begin at the facility. The year-long project will include the return of Tranent’s much-loved swimming pool, alongside improvements to modernise the centre, enhance the customer experience and secure its long-term future for local communities. 

Following a comprehensive review, it was determined that a full closure is the safest and most cost-effective way to complete the essential refurbishment works. The Loch Centre’s final day of operation will be Sunday 6 September, with the facility temporarily closing from Monday 7 September. This reflects reduced activity levels at the site, with the majority of activities already successfully relocated.

North Berwick Sports Centre: Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC)

Part of North Berwick Sports Centre – containing two squash rooms, trampoline room and a changing facility – is affected by RAAC and currently closed as a result. 

Temporary propping has been erected whilst a permanent solution is being considered as part of an option appraisal (for the permanent remedial works. The rest of the centre sports centre (including the main part of the building) remains operational and open to the public.

We’re working alongside East Lothian Council to find a solution and we look forward to the day when all facilities can once again be enjoyed to their full potential. As a Charity, we are acutely aware that the long-term repairs to our facilities have caused disruption, and we truly appreciate our customers bearing with us during this challenging period.
