The Strategic Director (Operations and Commercial) presented the Draft Indoor Sports Facility Strategy. The Strategic Development Lead (Leisure) joined the meeting remotely by Teams.

 

It was stated that the Indoor Sports Facility Strategy would examine the current and future supply and demand for nine types of indoor sports facilities across Dover District. The study would inform potential decisions relating to rationalisation and investment, the community use of school facilities, encouraging greater flexibility of facility usage and determining strategic objectives for the district. The study would also highlight the links to public health and how provision of accessible indoor facilities could contribute toward healthy living and well-being.

 

In addition, the study would support feasibility work on the proposed redevelopment of Tides Leisure Centre in Deal and the new Local Plan.

 

The Strategic Development Lead (Leisure) advised that consultation was on-going with key stakeholders.

 

Members raised the following points:

 

·         To welcome the development of a strategy

·         What the officer resources would need to be to deliver this work, particularly given the pressures of projects such as the proposed redevelopment of Tides Leisure Centre.

·         The provision of a sports facility in Aylesham through S106 funding.

 

In the absence of any dissent, it was agreed to approve the recommendations set out in the report.
