The Sports Centre last increased Facility Hire Fees in January 2020 and while the Sports Centre has seen an increase in essential running costs due to recent economic circumstances, the Centre is nevertheless still in a reasonable financial position. It was agreed therefore at the Management Committee Meeting on 27th September 2022, to freeze the Facility Hire Fees at the current rates until 31^st August 2023, with a review of hire fees from 1^st September 2023 onwards.

The Management Committee were very mindful of the Sports Centre’s commitment to provide affordable community sports provision and also, in particular, of the Vision Statement of “Providing Excellent Sports and Leisure Facilities for All”. We are extremely grateful for the continued support of Centre users and hope this decision helps to continue to make the Centre’s facilities accessible to the local community in times of great economic uncertainty.
