Decision due on future of Leamington community centre site

Warwick District Council officials have recommended that councillors on the council’s executive committee approve a proposal to replace the Kingsway Community Centre, which has been out of use for almost three years, with ten low-cost homes and a ‘community hub’.

But the plans have angered several people who live in the area, who have formed the Kingsway Community Centre Re-instatement Committee in attempt to save the building and bring it back to its former use.

The council says it will cost more than £200,000 to bring the building back to a standard that is fit for purpose.

Councillors on the executive committee are due to discuss the matter at a meeting at Leamington town hall tomorrow at 6pm.
