The report outlined the aspiration by the Council to improve the quality of its Leisure Centre provision, but also recognised the increased costs associated with operation of the service, significant investment challenges and the unstable nature of the existing budget position. 2.2 In addition, the report also identified an over supply of swimming pool facilities in the City. 2.3 Whilst recognising the challenges that the service faces the Executive Board report proposes a draft vision for the future provision of Council Leisure Centres to help achieve the Council’s improvement priority to enable more people to become involved in sport and culture by providing better quality facilities and activities.
