· Babergh and Mid Suffolk Building Services (BMBS)
In response to the consideration of the Leisure Strategy the Director of Strategic Planning, informed Members that the Leisure Strategy consisted of two parts they were the Leisure and Activity Strategy and the Leisure Facilities Strategy. It was suggested that any questions on how the Stratbroke and Stowmarket Indoor Swimming pools were managed should be directed directly to Chris Fry, Assistant Director of Environments and Projects. Members were concerned that Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre took an appropriate approach to make an impact on public fitness and to encourage schools to use the swimming pools.
Councillor James Caston to speak to the Assistant Director of Environments and Projects regarding the changes made to the facilities management and how this was affecting the target audience.
