To consider proposals for the business plan, revenue budget estimates, capital programme and proposed fees and charges in respect of the Council’s priority area of Leisure and Health.

The Committee considered the proposals for the business plan, revenue budget estimates, capital programme and proposed fees and charges in respect of the Council’s priority area of Leisure and Health. The priorities and objectives for Leisure and Health were to reduce anti-social behaviour in Broxtowe, work with partners to reduce violence and improve public safety, and to reduce drug and alcohol use. Key lines of enquiry from Members were:

• Internal and external works at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum, it’s budget and subsidies.
• The Stapleford Pavillion will make a loss this financial year as it has only been open months, but a surplus is expected from next year.
• The Bramcote Leisure Centre, reserve budget plans for work there should funding become available, and the final business case expected in March.
• Concerns around air quality in specific wards, and how the Council’s air quality targets are arrived at.
