THAT this Council believes that the proposal to site the new leisure centre on Killingbeck Fields is a mistake. Council also believes that such a building would be an irresponsible use of vital green space and would not be in the best place to meet the needs of the residents of East Leeds, particularly those living in Harehills and Burmantofts.
Council requests that the Executive Board rethink plans to close both East Leeds and Fearnville Sports Centres, and acts to reassure all communities in Leeds that they will not lose their major leisure facilities.
