I put a motion to full council to confirm to the Coldharbour community of the intention of the site. The motion is below:
Notice of Motion No1 - Fleet Leisure
To be moved by Cllr. Shane Mochrie-Cox and seconded by Cllr. John Burden
that :-
This council fully supports the retention of fleet leisure in council ownership and seeks its rebuilding as a community facility as soon as practically possible and reaffirms no housing development will be permitted on the site.
The motion was amended by the Tory Group and after a debate the following was agreed:
This council fully supports the retention of fleet leisure in council ownership and seeks its rebuilding as a community facility as soon as practically possible and reaffirms no housing development will be permitted on the site, other than to provide accommodation within the main leisure facility building for a steward as this would provide security.
To confirm this means that the site will be a sports and leisure facility, there will be no housing and the Council will own the land.
In terms of the current state of the site:
I had a meeting with the Director about this on Friday just gone and the site will be cleared and the rest of the building demolished next week. The site is currently out to tender to rebuild for a new sports site and I look forward to letting the Coldharbour Community know when this has been completed. Residents have been sent letters by the Council recently updating them and steps forward for fencing etc to those that were affected.
If you have any questions on this please let me know.
