Causeway Coast and Glens Council says 'legal processes' continue in bid to resolve on-going closure of Garvagh sports hall
Causeway Coast and Glens Council has said that ‘legal processes’ are continuing in a bid to resolve the on-going closure of the Jim Watt Sports Centre sports hall.
The sports hall has been closed since 2024 due to health and safety concerns.
In a post on social media, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council: “At the next court hearing in January 2026 it is expected that all parties will agree to mediation to seek a satisfactory resolution to the current health and safety issues.
"It is vitally important that these can be resolved in a cost-effective way and in a timely manner, so that the sports hall facility can be re-opened for public use.
"While Council can’t predict the outcome of mediation, it is hoped that we can reach a successful conclusion and agree a timeframe for remedial works to take place."
The statement ended: “Further updates will be issued based on Court directions”.
