Decision details
Community Asset Transfer, South Wansdyke Sports Centre, Adventure and Skate Parks and Toilets
Decision Maker: Cllr Paul Crossley, Cllr David Bellotti, Cllr David Dixon
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Writhlington Sports Trust have proposed to manage South Wansdyke Sports Centre, Adventure and Play Park, Skate Park and the Toilet block and car park
Decision:
The Cabinet Members agree to a Community Asset Transfer of South Wansdyke Sports Centre (SWSC), the adventure and play park, skate park, toilet block and Car Park to Writhlington Sports Trust
Reasons for the decision:
The proposal is that a single operator manages South Wansdyke Sports Centre (and whole external site) and Writhlington Sports Centre in order to offer the most effective and appropriate services for the local and surrounding communities.
Alternative options considered:
To include the management of SWSC in the current main Leisure procurement process which is being run to appoint an operator to manage other leisure facilities across the area.
This option was discounted as it would provide fewer beneficial outcomes for the authority and service users than the proposed asset transfer.
