Decision details

Leisure - Writhlington Sports Centre

Decision Maker: Director of Public Health and Prevention

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Deliver new LED flood lights on the tennis courts at Writhlington Sports Centre and upgrade the worn out playing surface.

Decision:

To fully approve £55k of capital budget, fully funded by CIL. It should be noted the overall project is expected to cost £90k and balance of the budget will be funded directly by Dragonfly Leisure at £10k and Lawn Tennis Club at £25k.

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing - Without lights the site could not provide activities for the community. Project will result in more activity and low carbon emissions. The current playing surface is not fit for purpose and has deteriorated so has become unsafe.
