| PC Chairmans Statement The Development of the
Sports and Community Centre
By February we will see significant physical
changes to the building on the Recreation Ground. The trees which are
undermining the building will have been removed. Orders have been placed
for the replacement of the windows and the installation of shutters.
As well as physical changes, we have also obtained
drawings ready to go for planning permission to for the installation of
stand alone changing rooms, to be used alongside other activities in the
building. We will be discussing those ideas at the AGM of the Sports
Association. At the end of January the Parish Council will receive
tenders from existing ’not for profit’ operators of leisure facilities,
with their proposals for services which could be provided.
Remember that when the building was acquired by the
Council it was little more than a shell, with no adequate heating, nor
electrical installation, and was unsafe to use. Since then the priority
has been to make the building safe, secure and watertight. A secure gate
has been installed, CCTV is now in place, the roof repaired and the
interior cleared out and tidied up.
The Parish Council has received a petition for the
installation of skate ramp in the last few weeks.
We will be putting reports of progress on the
Parish Council website from now on. This will be January’s report, so do
please keep an eye on
