To provide the Advisory Shareholder Sub-Committee with Liberty Leisure Limited’s Business Plan for 2025-28.

The Committee noted the Liberty Leisure Business Plan 2025 – 28, with particular reference to attendance numbers, setting accurate targets and the management fee.

There was also a discussion about the £57,000 deficit.  It was noted that the plan was to increase profits and reduce costs to bring down the deficit, and that it would be a last resort to call on reserves, which stood at around £400,000. 

Debate progressed on to concerns about asbestos at Bramcote Leisure Centre, which was linked to the combined heat and power (CHP) generator.  This provided the heat for the Leisure Centre in an efficient and cost-effective way.  It was noted that the rebuild of the CHP engine was being prioritised, with the asbestos removal as part of that process.

There followed a conversation about swimming provision in the north of the Borough.  It was noted that Liberty Leisure were an operator and that the Council provided the facilities for it to operate.
