A new aquatic and leisure centre is being built at Barry Curtis Park and Flat Bush community is being asked to have their say on the services it wants to see at the facility.

Before the design starts, we would like to hear from the community about what they would like to do in the new aquatic and leisure centre to make sure the new facility meets community needs.
