Decision details

This report deals with moving provisional budgets relating to leisure capital works to full approval.

The Cabinet Member agrees that:

Contractual Changes

·  Approval is given for refurbishment as the preferred option and the Council lead on the design and construction of the refurbished Keynsham Leisure Centre with GLL responsible for fitting out and operating the facility for the remainder of the 20 year contract, including making the required changes to the contract to enable this.

Budget Approvals

·  To fully approve £10.016m from the 2017/18 – 2021/22 Council provisionally approved capital programme for the refurbishment of Keynsham Leisure Centre.

·  To fully approve the CIL budget of £200k for the delivery of the works required to the car parks at Bath and Odd Down.

Contractual Changes

·  The contract currently requires GLL to design and deliver both the refurbishment works at Bath Leisure Centre and the originally intended new build at Keynsham. The business case, around which the contract was based, allowed for the costs relating to these activities.

Contractual changes need to be made to reflect the new approach to refurbish and expand the current centre.

Budget Approvals - Keynsham

·  Planning permission has been granted for the refurbished leisure centre scheme and a cost plan drawn up.  This identifies a required budget of £10.016m.  This budget needs to move from provisional to full approval for the scheme to progress.

Budget Approvals – CIL funding

·  The car park at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre is in need of improvements and resurfacing works are needed to bring it up to standard with the refurbished leisure centre.

·  Works are also required to add lighting to improve the safety of the car park at Odd Down Sports Ground. 

None.
