Artists impression of the proposed Watford Central Swimming PoolBetter leisure facilities
DESIGNS are being finalised for new swimming and leisure facilities at Woodside and Central Baths.
Dorothy says: ‘We need to renew these facilities because they are coming to the end of their useful lives. It doesn’t help that over many years the previous Labour administration failed to operate a planned maintenance programme.
‘The new buildings will be funded from capital reserves not from the council tax. When built they will cost no more to run than the present leisure services. So council tax will not go up to pay for them. The running costs will include a provision for planned maintenance, so that we don’t wait until things go wrong and end up with a huge bill.’
The plan is for the new facility at Woodside to be ready by 2008 and at Central Baths to be open by 2010.
Dorothy says: ‘This is a major investment, but one which is badly needed if the town is to enjoy decent leisure facilities in the future.’
