Camelford Leisure Centre update

It looks as if the 1991 contract between Cornwall county council, North Cornwall district council and the governors of Sir James Smith school won't, after all, save the Camelford leisure centre. While there are some robustly-held and diametrically-opposed opinions (my thanks to Cornwall Council lawyer Matt Stokes for copying me in on the various emails) I gather the latest view from Camelford is that it would simply cost too much to challenge the council's interpretation in the courts. Hopes that the leisure centre can be saved appear now to rest on working out a detailed business plan which doesn't require more council subsidy than that already promised. I forecast a busy next 24 hours in the County Hall leisure services department.
