Improved Swimming Facilities for Shrewsbury
29/09/2016 - Improved Swimming Facilities for Shrewsbury
RESOLVED:
That Cabinet confirms that:
- The Council’s
preferred location for improved swimming provision in Shrewsbury is
the Shrewsbury Sports Village. This
decision is based on the options appraisal which was reported in
detail to Cabinet on the 13th July 2016.
- In view of
the outcome of the public consultation and interest in the
retention of a town centre location any interested organisations
who wishes to do so, is given the opportunity of up to 12 months to
develop alternative business case proposals to retain swimming
provision at the Quarry or other town centre location.
- There
should be an interim stage and that interested organisations are
provided with the opportunity to submit a Strategic Outline
Business Case. Any interested
organisation which does not meet minimum criteria will be given an
opportunity of addressing weaknesses or may choose to withdraw
their interest.
- All Strategic Outline
Business Cases and Full Business Cases, including the
Council’s Strategic Outline Business Case and Full Business
Case for the Shrewsbury Sports Village, will be evaluated against
the process, timetable, evaluation requirements and methodology set
out within the Terms of Reference included as Appendix 1 on a
comparative basis.
- A report
on the outcome of the evaluation of all submitted Full Business
Cases will be brought back to Cabinet in due course for a decision
on the final preferred location. A
decision on whether to go ahead with the replacement of the
existing pool can be taken thereafter in light of the
Council’s Financial Strategy.
