The following poster is being displayed around the leisure centre detailing the current position. I will shortly put an update on last weeks meeting with officers on the blog too.
Abbey Leisure Centre
The future operation
Further to the council’s decision regarding the future of Abbey Leisure Centre. We want to keep you informed of what is happening.
We are currently exploring options for how the leisure centre will be operated in the future in order to minimise costs as agreed in the Council’s Cabinet report. At this stage, it is intended that there will be no changes to opening times or activities prior to 1 October 2011.
Council representatives will meet with the Abbey Steering Group, who have taken on a representative role for Abbey’s customers, in early August. This is to discuss initial proposals and then, during August, to develop these ideas. If you would like to contribute to the process, or have any comments or suggestions to make, please contact the leisure centre’s management.
Meeting date
A meeting will then be arranged for 7.00pm on Wednesday 31st August where the proposals for Abbey’s future operation will be discussed. More details of the meeting will follow but ALL customers are welcome to attend.
Once the future operation of Abbey is determined, we will start work looking at any actions needed to help lessen the impact of a reduced service. However our aim is to provide a service that balances the council’s need to significantly reduce costs whilst also satisfying customer requirements where possible.
