Isle of Wight Council (IWC) will open the new Tone Zone gym and refurbished swimming pool at Sandown's Heights Leisure Centre on 15 October - two weeks later than planned.

The first of a two-phase redevelopment of the facility incurred delays due to poor weather at the start of the summer, with the new gym housing 70 stations of equipment provided by Pulse.

Visitors can use the current Tone Zone gym - along with the health suite and activity studio - until the new facilities open, while swimming is available at Newport's Medina Leisure Centre.

IWC deputy director of economy and environment John Metcalfe said: "It is always difficult with a refurbishment project to control all of the elements that can impact on planned works."
