LEISURE FACILITIES POPULAR WITH BRIGG PEOPLE TO REOPEN THIS WEEKEND
Leisure facilities that are popular with people living in Brigg, Broughton and other local communities will reopen from lockdown on Saturday (July 25).
That's the good news from the DoubleTree by Hilton Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort - located close to the A18 Brigg to Scunthorpe road.
“The long wait is nearly over, our pool, gym and health club will be open to guests and to the public next Saturday,” says Steve Whittaker the hotel’s General Manager. “We look forward to welcoming old friends and new faces in the coming weeks and months.”
“At this time our focus is on guaranteeing total safety for our guests and our staff. We will naturally comply with all government proposals including limiting the number of people using the facility at any one time by using a timed booking system. We will also be reducing class sizes and allowing sufficient time between each class to avoid groups waiting outside during changeover.”
The DoubleTree by Hilton Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort has spaced out equipment and taken some out of service to maintain social distancing. The cleaning regime has been intensified and hand sanitizer are available at all stations. Floors are clearly marked for increased safety. At this time the pool will be limited to 16 swimmers while the spacious gym and studio will be restricted to just 21 guests at any one time. The award-winning 27-hole golf course has been successfully operating for some time.
“We have spent a huge amount of time researching and considering every aspect of safety,” comments Whittaker. “In particular we are asking visitors to the gym and pool to arrive ready to participate and then to go to their rooms or home to shower and change to reduce congestion in our changing areas.”
The hotel has adopted the worldwide Hilton CleanStay programme in partnership with RB, the makers of Lysol® & Dettol®, to deliver an even cleaner stay for their guests.
