Many said the closure of the leisure centre was a 'massive loss'
Nottingham City Council is planning to sell off a former leisure centre which it shut down two years ago, as the authority continues to try and reduce its debts. The council is aiming to have reviewed 550 of the assets it holds by the end of this year to decide whether it should keep them, or sell them off to generate income.
A meeting of the council's executive board on Tuesday, May 23, will now discuss plans to sell the freehold for the former John Carroll Leisure Centre. The council has already declared the property 'surplus to requirements' and will now be seeking approval to sell.Nottingham City Council first decided to close the facility in Denman Street Central in June 2021 due to low usage numbers.
This includes the freehold to the Fairham Development site, where 3,000 homes are due to be built on land which once housed the Fairham School and the Summerwood Day Centre. Both properties had already been declared 'surplus to requirements'. Finally, a large office building in Woolpack Lane is also set to be sold off. Beverley Gouveia, the Disposals and Development Manager at Nottingham City Council, says in the report being presented to councillors: "Disposal will generate significant capital receipts which can be used by the council as considered appropriate.
