|

|
(ii) |
That over this period the viability of the potential to transfer the management of any of Dunston Leisure Centre, Gateshead Leisure Centre, Birtley Sports Hall and Birtley Swimming Centre on a Community Asset Transfer basis will be explored. |
|

|
|
(iii) |
That a further report be submitted to Cabinet following this further period of consultation with the final outcome of the Review, including any proposals for Community Asset Transfer of one or more of the facilities referred to at (ii) above. |

The above decisions have been made for the following reasons: |
||
|
|
|
|
(A) |
To enable additional views of residents/stakeholders, particularly in the Birtley and Lamesley area, to be considered in light of the proposal for Birtley Swimming Centre, which emerged from the consultation and further evaluation and assessment process undertaken between November and January. |
|
|
|
|
(B) |
To enable time for discussions on Community Asset Transfers to progress and viability to be determined. |
