Decision details

RESOLVED that:

1.     The Kimberley school request for funding as specified in the exempt report to cover their estimated Leisure Centre deficits over 3 financial years, be rejected.

2.     The Kimberley School request that the Council provides uncapped contributions towards the repairs costs, including the pool plant replacements and future price increases in utility and supplies costs, not included in their assumptions, be rejected.

3.     Liberty Leisure continues to discuss the delivery of a ‘dry-side’ gym facility to be managed at the school site, be approved.

4.     The Council’s Leisure Officer and Liberty Leisure seek alternative leisure sites in the north of the borough and report back to Cabinet on any viable opportunities, be approved.

Reason

The requests would diminish the Council’s financial reserves.
