Waitrose Club Opens to All: Bracknell Sports Facility Public Access
18 Oct
Summary
- Waitrose's Bracknell sports club will now be accessible to the public.
- The facility, used by 2,700 staff, was significantly under-utilized.
- Bracknell Forest Council approved the plan pending car park safety improvements.
A private sports and leisure club belonging to Waitrose in Bracknell will soon be available for public use. The supermarket chain, which has been based in Bracknell since 1972, operates the facility for its 2,700 local staff.
Reports indicate that membership has fallen from approximately 800 five years ago to around 620 last year. The club was described as "significantly under-utilised." Bracknell Forest Council officially approved the proposal on Thursday, with the condition that improvements must be made to ensure the car park is safe for all users before it can open to the public.
