PUBLIC SECTOR DECARBONISATION SCHEME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do these upgrades need to be done now?
Hounslow Council has received funding through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), run by the Department for Business and Industrial Strategy. This funding is to be used on upgrading buildings in the borough to help reduce carbon emissions as part of the Government pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach the target of net zero emissions by 2050. The leisure centres are fortunate enough to receive a portion of this funding to ensure our buildings will be sustainable for years to come. All works in this scheme must be completed by March 2022.
What centres will be closing and when?
Works have been scheduled to be staggered between leisure centres to minimise impact on the borough, current proposed closure dates are as follows:
- Isleworth Leisure Centre: 03/03/2022 – 13/03/2022
