Closures are scheduled for December 1 to February 14, 2010. The Council says aombined Heat and Power unit will be installed to improve the energy efficiency of the building and help reduce its carbon footprint.
All other facilities at Bitterne Leisure Centre will be in full operation throughout this period.
