To consider the report of the Business, Partnerships and Health Improvement Group Manager (enclosed).

DECISIONS

1.    That the installation of the soft play equipment at Enderby Leisure Centre be supported.

2.    That delegated authority be given to the Business, Partnerships & Health Improvement Group Manager in consultation with the Neighbourhood Services & Assets Portfolio Holder to make any decisions in relation to timescales for the project to be delivered.

Reasons:

1.    The installation of the equipment is at no cost to Blaby District Council (BDC), helps to safeguard the contract management fee paid to BDC, improve the offer to residents, support Everyone Active to grow the business and could improve any future profit share generated.

2.    To provide delegated decision making to allow the project to progress quickly.

Considered – Report of the Business, Partnerships and Health Improvement Group Manager.

Other options considered:

Not to support the project – this is rejected as the leisure centres need to develop and grow to remain competitive, financially viable and to continue improving the offer to residents.
