General Services background-

1.A- At The Dunstable Centre, the Authority has developed a business model that will attract customers to access a number of new leisure, library, advice and day care services across the facility. This has created a customer and insight informed design, with a multi-use and functional wet and dry leisure facility offering a long term sustainable model. The centre will provide a wide range of sport and physical activity programmes and also the opportunity for the community to access a range of cultural and support services.

By working in partnership with a range of service providers, the co-location of aligned services supports the Authority's Five year Plan, making modern service delivery available and accessible under one roof in a town centre location, adjacent to education, retail, play and open space and The Grove Theatre. Providing library services alongside a modern-day care offer, citizen's advice services and wider leisure services ensures participation in active lifestyles can be encouraged, and the benefits from accessing those hosted services can be maximised, ultimately supporting delivery of wider social outcomes.

A Leisure Centre has been operating on this site for 40 years and will be replaced by the new facility with only the original structure of the sports hall, squash courts, pool hall and pool tanks remaining. The designs for the new Dunstable Centre have been developed by dartonB3 to a high standard in accordance with Sport England design guidance. The design and build construction contract is held by Wates and work started on site in June 2017. Practical completion is estimated to be in November 2018 with a commencement date of February 2019.

1.A- Tiddenfoot LC - At Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre, the Authority has a modern multi-purpose leisure facility, adjacent to Cedars Upper School with independent and shared use facilities. Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre is part of the Authority's strategic facility offer, having benefitted from significant investment to meet customer demand for health and fitness in the town and has undergone refurbishment in its reception and café, gym and changing provision in the last few years. It's a popular and busy facility that provides a high quality and comprehensive leisure offer. The school has day time usage of the Sports Hall, Squash Courts and dry changing facilities. At 6pm these facilities are available to the leisure centre customers. A joint use arrangement is in place and is currently being reviewed.
