"'A number of unexpected issues came to light once works had started, which meant we had to carry out additional checks with the relevant authorities. This has unfortunately led to a delay with the overall project.'"
"'Seymour Leisure Centre is a listed building, and the council's priority is to restore the building while respecting its listed status and historic character.'"
Renovations at Marylebone's Seymour Centre have been delayed four times due to unexpected issues, including asbestos found in the ceiling and problems with heritage windows. Originally scheduled for completion by early 2026, the project is now expected to finish in spring 2027. The construction company, Willmott Dixon, has cited these unforeseen challenges as reasons for the delays. Westminster City Council emphasizes the importance of restoring the building while maintaining its historic character, acknowledging the disappointment of local residents regarding the extended timeline.
