Idsall Sports Centre - reduced opening

  • Period: 29 February 2016 - 11 April 2016
  • Status: Closed
  • Audiences: Everyone
  • Topics: Leisure and culture, Big Conversation
  • Type: Public

Budget reductions, part of the overall spending pressures on Shropshire Council, require a minor adjustment in opening hours at Idsall Sports Centre to enable management of the facility to transfer to Idsall School.

We are seeking people’s views on the proposed revised opening hours and inviting them to suggest another option. It is planned that changes will be in place from April 2016.

Our current opening hours are:

DayCurrent opening hours
Monday 5pm – 10pm (Fitness Suite 12.20pm – 2pm and 3pm – 10pm)
Tuesda 5pm – 10pm
Wednesday 5pm – 10pm
Thursday 5pm – 10pm (Fitness Suite  12.20pm – 2pm and 3pm – 10pm)
Friday 5pm – 9pm
Saturday 9am – 5pm
Sunday 9am – 5pm

The proposal is to reduce opening hours to 40 hours a week (currently 47 hours) if the option detailed below is implemented it will result in no term time public use of the centre during the school day.

A final decision on the option following the consultation, will be made by the Portfolio Holder: Leisure and Culture at a decision making session.

We are seeking people’s views on the proposed option and inviting them to suggest another option.

Take a look at the option and then tell us what you think on the 'how to get involved' page.
