Holywell Mead public consultation

Consultation on the future use of Holywell Mead leisure facilities

The Council wants to see the complex reopened as a leisure facility. The challenge is to make the mix of leisure activities exciting enough to make this a well used service that operates at no cost to you, the Council taxpayer, with, hopefully, all year round programmes to make Holywell Mead a vibrant attraction for all. The area under consultation can be seen in the document below.

Until this year the Council operated two swimming pools at Holywell Mead, which were costing just under £80,000 to run each year, with additional costs for major repairs to the building and plant. Over a number of years declining numbers of visits were made to the outdoor pool. We would like to reverse this trend by providing a modern and inviting mix of leisure activities that will be popular with residents and visitors. To this end we invited local residents to tell us what they would like to do at Holywell Mead so that we can provide a facility that people will actually use.

This consultation has now closed.

The results of the consultation are now being analysed and this page will be updated with the outcome in due course.
