The report will seek Members’ views on
the way forward for the redevelopment of the Knutton Recreation
Centre and adjoining land.
In June 2011 and subsequently in October 2011, following Scrutiny
review, the Cabinet approved the disposal of the Knutton Recreation
Centre as part of the planned programme to develop the Jubilee 2
new Health and Wellbeing Centre. At this time it was agreed that
the existing ‘3G’ football pitch should be retained and
that the bowling green should be retained or relocated.
It is appropriate that Members review the development and
investment options for sites in Borough and County Council
ownership in the centre of Knutton Village with a view to its
regeneration, the options for public engagement and the potential
for asset realisation.
