Just seen these shots on the internet of the new QPLC baths. Still not sure if the whole venture is/was a good idea TBH :-X
-
Do a comparison with the proposals for leisure centre at Clowne, bear in mind Bolsover council tax is at least 50% higher than Chesterfield, then decide which is better value for money
-
Don't set me off about the proposed baths in Clowne ::)
How do you get to 50% higher?
£1,061.52 in a typical band A Bolsover.
£988.17 in a typical band A in Chesterfield.
Don't be clever showing me the highest Bolsover area against the lowest Chesterfield area.
-
Break it down into the district /borough bit, your figure includes county / fire / police
-
So therefore the basic council tax can be cheaper in Chesterfield, but add the county / fire / police bit on and it makes the average band A price about the same as an average band A property in Bolsover.
-
Ours is 1005.83 of which 96.59 is CBC making the rest 909.34
If yours is 1061.52 take off county/fire/police of 909.34 this leaves your local tax (appreciating that some of it is provided by town council) of 152.18
ie approximately 58% higher than CBC

Is the chap in the second picture having a slash in the pool? :))
Might've waited until they filled it... ;)

:-? Trust you ;D

So we both pay give or take the same as I said in the first place.
Your example is just for those bothered about political figures.
You make it sound like I'm paying 50% more overall council tax for living in Bolsover (y) ;)
A couple of good slashes and that hole would be filled Pete ;D
God help the public when it's full of students :P

No I'm comparing what we get for our money in council tax. What's better students (local people) having some use of it or little or no leisure centre?
-
It looks smaller than the current pool in QP ... or am I seeing things? Is it the smaller of two pools? Not sure looking at it
-
Slightly shorter because 25M is acceptable for competitions but 33 isn't
-
The old pool was built deliberately not to competition standards so that it wasn't constantly blocked out by galas etc
-
Is the new one built not as wide so the gala's will be smaller affairs, giving the college students more swimming time ?
-
8 lanes I think. Like it or not, swimming clubs are a major source of income due to being regular users. The already do competitions but it needs a bund putting across for reaces so obviously if you start from scratch i's someting to eliminate
