Motion Submitted by the Labour Group - Council Leisure Facilities Managed by Trafford Community Leisure Trust

Meeting: 17/09/2014 - Council (Item 45)

Motion Submitted by the Labour Group - Council Leisure Facilities Managed by Trafford Community Leisure Trust

 

Earlier this year the Council Executive gave notice to withdraw the Council grant to the Trafford Community Leisure Trust (TCLT) next year.

 

This move will put enormous pressure on the Council Leisure Centres and other leisure services managed by TCLT for the Council. This could lead to higher charges to users, a decline in maintenance of the Council owned buildings and potential closing down of provision.

 

In light of the above we call on the Council not to cut the grant to TCLT. The Council also seeks assurances that no Leisure Centres and other services managed by TCLT on the Council behalf will close in the event the Council withdraws the Council Grant to TCLT.
