The cool kids at Chelmsford City Council invited us down to take a tour of the newly refurbished Riverside - formally Riverside Ice and Leisure. They've spent millions improving it, and I was very, very excited to see how it all looks. I spent a lot of my childhood at Riverside, and it in it's final few years wasn't as great as it once was. After a multi-million pound investment, is it really a centre fit for a City? This tour took place on Saturday 8th June, as the finishing touches were being done - as you'll see, it wasn't quite finished, it's due to open on Monday 10th June.
You can see for yourself all of the facilities on offer - the small pool and splash area weren't quite ready as I filmed. They also had people in the main pool, so the shots couldn't linger too long for privacy reasons. I cover pretty much the whole public side of the building in this exclusive tour (Studio 1 aside - as there was a class in there!), so you get a really good feel of it!
