Victoria Leisure Centre Public Meeting to Oppose Closure

Tash [alan lodge] | 02.03.2008 17:43 | Health | Social Struggles

On Saturday 1st March, people gathered in the Market Square [at 11.30am], and with street performers and a samba band, snaked their way across the city. They went the the Victoria Leisure Centre.

Victoria Leisure Centre Public Meeting to Oppose Closure

Nottingham City Council have started a consultation process, with a view to shutting the Victoria Baths next to Sneinton Market. The council say: "Closure of the centre, which is situated near Sneinton Market, is being considered.

On Saturday 1st March, people gathered in the Market Square [at 11.30am], and with street performers and a samba band, snaked their way across the city. [Sorry missed this bit, I do my best you know!}

They went to the Victoria Leisure Centre. There, a couple of hundred people gathered for a public meeting to hear the case for against the closure of the facility. Everyone present was horrified by the speed of the announcement and the 'so-called' consultation process. The executive board of the council will meet again, to decide on what action to take on the 18th March.

As with previous meetings, Labour group & Cllr Williams were pressed for clarification on how the consultation would measure opinion. Is it letters, petitions, meetings, filling out the consultation form? The public and campaigners, still have no idea what threshold has to be crossed to convince the powers to change their mind.

The panel consisted of:

Jenny Elliot - Chair
Cllr Michael Williams - Corporate Director for Leisure & Community Services
Mat Anderson - Save Victoria Baths Campaign
Cllr David Liversidge - St Anns
Ian Wells - Nottingham Civic Society
Tony Sutton - Lib Dem
Jean Thorpe - Unison


Please check out the audio recording made of the meeting.
