Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The report sets out the Council’s
position following a desktop review in relation to the value for
money of representations for a refurbishment option for the St
George’s Leisure Centre, following the decision at the 2
February 2022 Cabinet meeting to build a new leisure centre on that
site.
Decision:
DECISION
1. To confirm the building of a new leisure centre on the St George’s Leisure Centre site, not a refurbishment. Given that the original funding allocation of £25.163m is not sufficient, a decision on how the shortfall will be funded will be made following a review of the overall capital programme. The totality of the required funding will need to be identified and approved before the procurement phase of the scheme can commence.
2. To confirm that officers should review the current housing programme to ensure that a housing scheme on the St George’s Leisure Centre site is part of that programme, based on a funding requirement of up to £16m.
