REFURBISHED shower facilities worth £100,000 were revealed at at the changing rooms of a leisure centre.
Work on the joint project between South Oxfordshire District Council and Oxfordshire County Council started in November after water started pouring from changing areas into an adjacent sports hall at Henley Leisure Centre.
Following months of construction, the changing rooms now boast new wall and floor tiles and environmentally-friendly showers that use 50 per cent less water.
Energy efficient LED lighting has also been installed.
The improvements to the swimming facilities, which are also used by surrounding village primary school pupils, are set to reduce the amount of energy and water use in the building.
County Councillor David Bartholomew urged local pupils and residents to take advantage of the improvements.

Maggie Filipova-Rivers, the cabinet member for community services at South Oxfordshire District Council, said: “I am so pleased this work has been done and residents can now have full access to all the facilities at Henley Leisure Centre.
“Not only will these refurbishments benefit those who use the centre, but the work done to make it more energy efficient will benefit us all.”
These improvements follow previous refurbishments carried out to the swimming pool changing area in 2017.
The leisure centre in Gillotts Lane also boasts a large gym, separate cycling and fitness class studio, a four court badminton hall, two squash courts and martial arts facilities.
