Subject: Official Information request - Swimming Lockers & Entry Machines

 

Dear Whanganui District Council,

 

It is seven weeks since seeking information on lockers and how to use them
at our Splash Centre, London St.  I sought information on how the
combination locks work and how vision impaired would work them.  No
answers were received other than bring your own lock until they let the
community know how it works.

 

1. How does one work the combination locks at Splash Centre that are
fitted on the lockers?

2. How are vision impaired ( glasses will be safely in locker during swim
) able to use these lockers.

3. How do vision impaired keep valuables safe whilst using Splash Centre?

4. If Splash Centre “holds valuables” as they do currently by having
reception retain them who is responsible for-any loss whilst being
securely held / held by reception?

5. When will Splash Centre let their community know about the locker
operations as stated to me in correspondence dated 16th June 2025?

6. What is the planned installation date / expected installation date of
the entry machines currently sitting in the foyer since January?  A recent
correspondence from Splash said “soon” as a timeframe which conveys
nothing really.

7. How are vision impaired catered for by Splash Centre procedures 8. How
much money did the blue lockers cost to buy.

9. How much money did the blue lockers combination locks cost?

10. How much money did the blue lockers cost to have installed?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Gregory Soar
