Basingstoke MP, Maria Miller visited Basingstoke Sports Trust after its re-opening in early August.
Maria met with Chief Executive, James Starbuck who took her on a tour of the facilities to show her the work that has taken place since the Centre was forced to close due to the pandemic. The Trust focussed on implementing new ways of working and new measures have been put in place designed to minimise the risk from Covid-19 for customers and staff.
Maria commented, “It was great to see all of the measures put in place by James and the team. The gym, pool and studios have all been adapted to ensure people can exercise safely.
The staff have worked really hard to ensure that members feel confident about returning to exercise. Covid-19 has highlighted the need for us all to stay as active as we can.”
The Trust produced a guide to outline the changes and what everyone needs to do to ensure the Centre is ‘Covid-secure’. This will require a collaborative effort and the guide is available at https://www.mybst.org/getuback/
