Proposals to convert parts of Batley Sports and Tennis Centre and Dewsbury Sports Centre, to provide alternative uses with a view to improving levels of participation in physical activity and generating increased income.

18/10/2017 - Proposals for the partial conversions of Batley Sports & Tennis Centre and Dewsbury Sports Centre

1)    That approval be given to redevelop the existing indoor and outdoor tennis space at Batley Sports and Tennis Centre, as set out at Option 4 of the considered report, and the Sports Hall at Dewsbury Sports Centre into a soft play, clip ‘n’ climb and associated facilities, notwithstanding that officers have, currently, been unable to secure Head Landlord’s consent to the alterations.

 

2)    That the required capital expenditure and method of funding the financing costs, as set out at section 3.5 of the considered report, be approved.

 

3)    That it be noted that the change in provision will enable KAL to increase its surpluses as a way to offset the reductions in funding to the Council over the next three years, and to attract more children, young people and adults to be physically active.
