New Town plans new community centre
2.
The New Town
Council are planning
to build a new
recreational centre
on South Street by
the river. The new
centre will include
an outdoor swimming
pool, a gym and
basketball and tennis
courts. There will also
be a community centre
and child minding
facilities.
The Mayor of New
Town, Mr Barry
Baskett said that
the new centre
would be good for
the whole community
and that most residents
were going to use it
at some time.
However, not all
residents are happy
about the centre.
Mrs Norma Baker,
president of the New
Town Residents'
Committee, said that
they were holding a
meeting the following
week because many
people were unhappy
about the location of
the new centre.
