The last strategy "Looking Forward to the Millennium" made a significant impact with leisure provision and development, and now, with "A Leisure & Culture Strategy for Spelthorne" we hope to build on the progress that we have made.
This strategy focuses on developing leisure facilities and opportunities, through partnership with the local community and business; to make the best use of existing facilities, open spaces and natural features; and to balance the leisure needs of people of all ages and abilities.
Developments will include:
Programme of arts workshops for young people
Increased play provision for children with special needs
Memorial Gardens re-development
Programme of walks throughout the Borough
Working with Spelthorne Museum to promote our heritage
Four year maintenance and improvements plan for both Leisure Centres
Evaluation of Active Sports Programme
Increase in electronic leisure information
This strategy has been produced after extensive consultation with the community and is for the community of Spelthorne. It is a guide to enable the Borough Council to lead the development and implementation of strategic change and improvement throughout the Borough. The Strategy is a living document, and as such, may develop within its active life to reflect the needs of the local people, and to reflect the availability of new resources and technologies.
I hope you will find the strategy informative and that you look forward to an exciting future in Spelthorne.
