« on: August 26, 2016, 04:40:54 PM »
A family member has had leaflet though the door made interesting reading. The article stated that Chesterfield Council have no plans for the now derelict sports centre on Boythorpe Road no money to demolish it no money for asbestos removal no money for anything related to this site. . The new sports centre has come under fire for been dirty lacking a badly pool the main pool been taped off as out of use not good for the fair Council Tax payers of Chesterfield is it? The article mentioned that the fairy newish solar panels on the roof are likely to been heading for the landfill not forgetting the lights are still on in parts . O' dear are friends in the glasshouse haven't done their homework.

It makes you wonder how many committee's sat and discussed the new build without thinking about the old.
I assume a developer will eventually be interested ::)

If I remember correctly there were many meetings about the new Leisure Centre and much opposition.
All apparently fell on deaf ears.

I've been in several times and can't say I thought it was dirty ?

Have to agree it is a shame that the old one is just left.

From what I read the council simply ruled over any public opposition  because they could but they forget it is us the council tax payer who pays their wages. The arrogance the council have show has come back to haunt them now on what to do with the old sports centre demolition costs a lot of money asbestos adds to the costs. At a time of deep cuts wasting money needs to be answerable to the tax payer not hogwashed away as regrettable.
