Decision details

The Executive Member for Early Intervention, Councillor Bev Murray, presented the confidential report of the Director of Communities and Leisure.

The grant funding was significant and would make a clear contribution to the operation of All Seasons Leisure Centre. 

The installation of PV panels would reduce the leisure centre's electricity costs by generating renewable energy on-site and lead to significant long-term savings on utility bills.

These upgrades supported the council's commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions by lowering the facility's reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

The Leader of the Opposition, Councillor Alan Platt, and other members welcomed the grant. 

The Executive Member for Early Intervention, Councillor Bev Murray proposed, the Deputy Portfolio Holder, Councillor Hasina Khan seconded, and it was Resolved (unanimously)
