To seek approval on the opening hours for the
Council’s leisure facilities over the Queen’s Platinum
Jubilee holiday period in June 2022.
That pproval is given to the proposed opening
hours for the Council’s leisure facilities over the
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee holiday period 2022, as set out in
the report.
To allow for a continued, daytime leisure
provision over the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee bank holiday
period to ensure that a level of customer service is provided at
the Council’s leisure facilities.
To allow staff to take annual leave without the need to provide
full cover.
To ensure that the centres are operating within the approved base
budget.
The council could do nothing and continue to
open the leisure facilities with the normal operating hours. This
option would mean a waste of resource in terms of heating, lighting
and staffing of the facilities for extremely low levels of customer
use.
Alternative Leisure Centre opening hours to those contained in the
proposal could be considered. However the proposal takes into
account previous usage levels on bank holidays, but also recognises
that there may be increased pool use by children and parents as the
bank holidays fall in school holidays.
The Richard Herrod Centre and/or the Bonington Theatre could be
closed on these days. Although usage has traditionally been low on
bank holidays, the facilities have customarily been opened to
provide a service to those residents wishing to utilise the
facilities that these two venues provide.
