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.
