Leisure centre re-think
9:17am Tuesday 12th December 2006 in
North Wiltshire District Council will reconsider its decision to close leisure centres in Calne, Cricklade and Wootton Bassett, in the wake of comments from its overview and scrutiny committee.
The executive committee will meet again tonight, after its decision was referred back to it on Monday.
Members of overview and scrutiny have asked officers to investigate what capacity neighbouring centres, such as those in Swindon and Cirencester, have to cope with clubs, schools and people left without provision in their towns.
Chairman Toby Sturgis said it was important to see how the impact on those living in the east of the district could be lessened.
The committee also said the council should investigate reports of how much Kennet District Council invested in Devizes Leisure Centre to generate £500,000 of income, to see if they could do something similar.
