projects.

the project and close the      Bingley Pool gym with immediate
effect.
 
·        
This would involve us market testing the scheme
as two options (i) as a single entity (ii) as a bundle with the
Town Hall site, to find a development partner who can fund,
construct and operate the project.
 

In alignment with
this, the Council will continue its dialogue with DLUHC surrounding
the terms and conditions of the grant award. 

 
·        
This option will also deliver the savings
identified in the Sports Review.
