Opposition councillors called it 'bare-faced cheek'
South Kesteven District Councillors have been accused of airbrushing out Deepings Leisure Centre in order to improve performance statistics ahead of a decision on its future on Thursday.
The report noted condition surveys have been carried out on leisure centres in Bourne Grantham and Stamford, noting that “All works which will be required over a 30 year period have to identified and categorised between A and D ”. A meeting tomorrow will ask the Full Council to vote against proceeding with the project and hand back the site to Lincolnshire County Council.“I’ve got to say, to come to this committee and say that we’re just taking Deepings out of the equation and then we can get a green sheet in the current status of our leisure KPIs… who are we trying to kid? Nobody’s going to be fooled just by taking the Deepings out of it”.
“What has happened in the last six weeks to overturn that to the point that instead of having £10-and-a-half million to spend on Deepings Leisure Centre we’ve now got zero and want to hand back the keys. I cannot believe the bare-faced cheek.”
