What’s the problem?What’s the problem?o Winchester’s sports provision patchy, fragmented. Local facilities for training and competition are inadequate, for swimming and other popular sports – e.g netball, football, gymnastics.
o River Park Leisure Centre is showing its age; energy inefficient, large carbon footprint. Council figures suggest capital investment of £6m+ needed for repairs and refurbishment, for centre to last another c.10 years.
o A new sports and leisure centre would be a better investment – this would expand sports participation, support health and well-being, and develop local talent.
