Residents looking to book space at the Kinson Community Centre in Bournemouth will need to continue using email for the time being, as the online booking system remains unavailable due to ongoing technical issues.
According to BCP Council, work is currently underway to develop a new online booking system for the facility, which is located in the historic Pelhams Park. Until the new system is ready, the council asks that all room hire requests be sent directly to [email protected].
The facility, housed in the Grade II listed Pelhams House, offers 12 rooms for hire, ranging from smaller spaces to a main hall with a capacity of 200 people. Hire rates for the smallest room start at £11 per hour on weekdays, while the main hall and kitchenette can be hired for £27.50 per hour on weekdays, increasing to £33 per hour on weekends.
Technical difficulties are currently affecting various digital services provided by the council. The Customer Self-Service portal is displaying a notification that the system is offline, and similar issues have been reported across other council webpages.
