He explained that the Council needed to find the balance between customer experience, cost and affordability. As part of this process the service would need to develop a better understanding of income and costs, to help determine which parts of the service were reliant on subsidy, plus areas for future investment? He believed marketing was also essential to ensure the Council was able to provide users with the right offer, at the right time, and at the right price. Attendance figures for the year were good and up on last year. Members raised issues on: i. The possibility that a local school would utilise the Waudby centre, which would see them buy hours, potentially reducing the subsidy level. The City Sports, Leisure and Heritage Manager confirmed that any approach would be considered on a value for money basis. Page 10 of 78 P a g e 4 ii. The subsidy for the Waudby Centre, the total cost of the service and how its costs compared when viewed alongside other subsidised services. The City Sports, Leisure and Heritage Manager explained that the systems did not allow the service to produce accurate cost information. In response to the review, they had undertaken an exercise last year which had enabled them to estimate that the average visit to a Council leisure facility was subsidised to the sum of £3.12 but it had been an extremely intensive exercise which had required officers to draw down information from a range of different systems.
