Camelford Leisure Centre Ltd New Exercise Studio

Camelford Leisure Centre Ltd was set up in 2012 as a Community Benefit Society when Cornwall Council decided that it could no longer afford to run the leisure centre in Camelford. With the help and support of the local community and brilliant staff, the leisure centre is now relatively thriving and making a small annual trading surplus. The potential availability of Levelling-Up funding has provided the board of directors with an opportunity to source a new exercise space to cater to this need. Background and Context The leisure centre consists of a 20m swimming pool, a sports hall and a small fitness suite. The sports hall is used during the school day by the adjacent secondary school. There is an increasing demand for "dry-side" activities both during the school days and in the evenings and weekends which cannot currently be met as the sports hall is being used by team sports and gymnastics. Increasing co-operation with local GP practices and social prescribing can only increase this demand. The following is a google link to the front of the Sports Hall and demonstrates that the site has been built on sloping land: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.621942,-4.6862151,3a,31.1y,106.37h,91.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9082uMF1C6vOm4F895krHw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu The whole commission is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project.
