Live Active Leisure has been operating under uncertainty whilst plans to create Perth's new replacement leisure facility PH2O are continually kicked into the long grass
The chairman of Live Active Leisure has urged Perth and Kinross Council to make a decision on its new leisure facility to replace Bell's Sports Centre, Dewars Centre and Perth Leisure Pool "as practically as possible".
In January 2024 - following an outcry from the world of curling - councillors voted for the new PH2O facility to include an ice rink; the rink had been controversially removed from the latest plans tabled by council officers. Bailie Chris Ahern raised concern about the investment on works in Dewars that "may be superseded by PH2O".
He added: "It's been built into the business case and the budget in terms of a return of investment - even with that spend - over the next three years." "I sincerely hope the council meeting in August - which is just round the corner now - a decision can be taken on which way we go with PH2O. Either it's going to be funded or it's not going to be funded; it's going to be on one site or whatever it is because then the team can start working on a final objective because it's extremely difficult.
