JudoPLUS

to the public through BHF Heartstart.

Concerns & Issues

• Equal treatment of statutory

and non statutory services

• Continuity of provision
• Need for a facility that

represents our local, regional and national contribution

• Remain on Ariston site
• Land on which non statutory

services located should remain in public ownership

What would we like HCC to do

• Adjust decision to ensure

equality of treatment to statutory & non statutory services.

• Protect Judo club at the point of

sale without the uncertainty of s106 process and appeals.

• Avoid ‘land banking’ and ensure

continuity of provision.

• Explicit reference to judo club

being re‐provided for on Ariston site.

Summary

• National Judo, Local

Community.

• Equal Treatment for

Established Services.

• Protection at the

Point of Sale.
