Purpose

To consider the nomination from Overton Parish
Council to list Overton Swimming Pool as an Asset of Community
Value.

Decision

To add Overton Swimming Pool to the
Council’s list of Assets of Community Value.

Reasons for the decision

The nomination of Overton
Swimming Pool meets the criteria to be listed as an Asset of
Community Value under the legislation relating to Community Right
to Bid, in that:

The nominating
organisation (Overton Parish Council) is a qualifying nominator
with a local connection under Section 89(2)(b) of the Localism
Act.
The asset is a
long-standing and viable amenity which is valued by the local
community and there is strong support and volunteer commitment to
expand and broaden usage.

It is realistic to think that
there can continue to be non-ancillary use of the Asset that would
further (whether or not in the same way as before) the social
wellbeing or social interests of the local
community. 

Alternative options considered

None – the nomination
meets the criteria to be listed as an Asset of Community
Value
