The future of Willenhall Leisure Centre and Bryntysilio, the council’s outdoor education centre in North Wales, still remains unresolved reports Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.
Last night members of the Community Scrutiny and Performance Panel decided to adjourn their meeting to hear the “call-ins” of the council’s Tory Cabinet decision to close both facilities after councillor Ian Shires, lead speaker for the Willenhall Leisure Centre call-in, expressed concern that all known interested parties had not been formally invited to attend the meeting by the council as is believed to be laid down in the protocols surrounding the constitutional arrangements for scrutiny and performance panels.
“I pointed out that as interested groups, some of which were mentioned in the report to the panel, had received no formal invite it could be said that the course of natural justice had not been followed.
“It’s important that the scrutiny panel members are aware of all the ramifications of closing these facilities. How can that happen if people have not been invited to give their views?” concluded Ian.
The meeting was adjourned to a date yet to be decided.
