Decision:
The Cabinet considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) setting out the results of the consultation on the sites for a wheeled sports facility in the central area of the town. The report sought approval to allocate a minimum of 500m2 of the former Warrior Square Swim Centre site for the installation of a wheeled sports facility and to progress the project.
Resolved:
1. That the results of the consultation as set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted report be noted and the use of the most popular location, an area of the former Warrior Square Swim Centre site, for a wheeled sports facility, be approved.
2. That a minimum of 500m2 of the former Warrior Square Swim Centre site be allocated for the installation of a wheeled sports facility.
3. That it be acknowledged that the creation of a wheeled sports facility in this location will reduce the amount of space available for future development.
4. That the project be progressed by way of the submission of a planning application, the works being put out to tender and the appointment of a contractor to construct a wheeled sports facility.
5. That it be noted that the full £250,000 capital budget may need to be re-profiled in 2018/19 if the delivery programme is ahead of schedule.
Reasons for Decision:
To develop the wheeled sports facility on the former Warrior Square Swim Centre site.
