Summary

Shropshire Cabinet decided on 17/01/2024 to prioritise the development of the Sports Village (SSV) over a dual split site proposal, deeming the latter unaffordable. Cabinet authorised an 8-week public consultation on SSV development proposals, including a competition standard pool, studio pool, and fitness centre improvements. Results of the consultation will be reported back to Cabinet and Full Council for a final decision on amending proposals and proceeding with capital funding.

Decision

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet:

  1. Confirmed that the previous decision made in December 2020 to develop a dual split site proposal, with new pools being developed at both the Quarry and SSV, is currently unaffordable and development of SSV needs to be prioritised, with a full assessment being undertaken in due course on the future options for the Quarry site.
  2. Authorised an 8-week public consultation on the development proposals for SSV, including a competition standard pool and studio pool and improvements to the fitness centre.
  3. Agreed that once the public consultation is completed, the results are to be reported back to Cabinet and then Full Council for a decision on whether to amend the proposals and/ or to proceed with the capital funding for the design and construction of the SSV facilities.
