NO, - ACCESS WILL BE BY BACK LANE PAST THE HOTEL AND MORRISONS

CERTAINLY INITIALLY THE 3 CURLING LANES WILL BE THE ONLY FACILITY IN ENGLAND BUT IT IS ENVISAGED THAT EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE LARGER ALTERNATIVES, AND THIS WILL REVERT TO BEING A LOCAL FACILITY.

WE ARE TOLD ONLY 10%, THE 106 AGREEMENT SPECIFIES OUR PROVISION MUST BE PAY AND PLAY USE AND CLIC HAVE ASSURED US THIS WILL BE HONOURED.
A NEW 106 LEGAL AGREEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED JUST FOR THIS FACILITY

NO SPECIFIC COSTS BUT RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN PROMISED CONCESSIONARY RATES, THE COSTS OF RUNNING THE FACILTY WILL HAVE TO BE MET BY ALL USERS SO IT WILL HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE.

IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE DEVELOPERS WILL SEEK AN ALTERNATIVE (POSSIBLY COMMERCIAL) OPERATOR, POSSIBLY JUST TO THE ORIGINAL 106 SPECIFICATION ALTHOUGH IT IS UNLIKELY TO BE VIABLE AND POSSIBLY THE COMMUNITY COULD RUN IT.

THE "CONVEYED LAND" WILL BE ABOUT 2 ACRES FOR THE BUILDING AND 2/3RDS OF THE CAR PARK, THE HARD AREA (TENNIS COURTS ETC), BOWLS AND FIELDS WILL EVENTUALLY BE PASSED TO THE PARISH COUNCIL AT NIL COST.

I AM TOLD THAT ICE SKATERS ARE NICE PEOPLE :-) BUT SERIOUSLY INITIAL DISCUSSION INDICATED THAT CCTV CAMERAS WILL MONITOR THE FACILITY.

YES - THE ICE WILL STAY ALL YEAR BUT TILES COULD BE LAID ON THE ICE TO MAKE IT IN TO A LARGE HALL FOR OCCASIONAL OTHER EVENTS

STUDIES HAVE BEEN MADE AND WILL BE CONFIRMED IN THE PLANNING PROCESS

MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE SITE IS AVAILABLE, LOTS OF SITES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BUT ARE MAINLY EXCLUDED BECAUSE THE LAND IS NOT AVAILABLE NOW, THIS STUDY FORMS PART OF THE APPLICATION

AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE PEOPLE CLIC HIRES TO RUN THE FACILITY ACCORDING TO THE CHARITABLE TERMS WILL ALSO RUN THE SHOP. THE SHOP WORKERS ARE PAID WAGES BY CLIC AND THE INCOME FROM THE STORES, IF ANY, GOES TO CLIC.
