Council said will thoroughly clean each of these facilities prior to reopening and will continue a cleaning schedule, however residents should use these facilities with caution, use their own cleaning provisions where possible and wash hands immediately after use.
Council said residents must continue to practise physical distancing and good hygiene. If you have even the mildest of symptoms, you should stay at home.
Council is working to reopen other facilities, including Customer Service Centres soon.
