There have been important developments over the last few months relating to the construction of the leisure facilities in Abbey Fields.  Construction has been halted due to archaeological finds on the proposed site and the current plans have had to be significantly re-designed which will undoubtedly add to the spiralling costs and ongoing delays in this project.

If you do not want Warwick District Council pouring more of our money into the existing outdated, and unworkable plan please support our request that WDC Councillors call for a complete halt to the current Kenilworth Leisure project and carry out a full and transparent cross-party review of ALL the options.

The existing plan is very far from the best option; so whatever money has already been spent we believe now is the time to STOP and listen to the community, because:

·         Other potential locations in Kenilworth should be explored.

·         WDC declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 but the current design will simply not meet their goal of being Carbon neutral by 2025.

·         A more energy efficient design could cut ongoing utility costs by 30%.

·         We need public facilities for safe indoor & outdoor swimming in the district.

·         Access, including parking, lighting and footpath safety remain a concern.

·         Reducing building size could cut construction costs by around a third.

·         The data used in the original 2018 Kenilworth Leisure Facilities Consultation is now almost entirely out of date as it was designed to the outdated 2013 building regulations
