Decision details

That the commentary within the report and any recommendations made by the Renewal and Recreation PDS Committee be noted.

That the release of the 2017/18 Investment Fund to upgrade facilities as detailed within Appendix 2 of the Mytime Active Annual Report 2015/16 be agreed.

Mytime Active delivers a range of initiatives and programmes that support vulnerable adults and children, and provides activities that focus on getting inactive people involved in sport and physical activity.  This supports the delivery of the Council’s Building a Better Bromley vision for a healthy Bromley as well for children and young people and supporting independence, and leisure provision also contributes towards vibrant, thriving town centres.

Mytime Active has developed proposals for a five year rolling programme of spending from the Investment Fund which represent key service areas of improvement and reflect the £200k annual reduction from 2019/20.  It is proposed that the Investment Fund be used to increase capacity of the wet-side changing rooms within the Pavilion Leisure Centre, support a repair and replacement programme of customer lifts, fund Phase 3 of the final equipment upgrade and refurbish High Elms Gold Course changing facilities.
