Cornwall’s Leisure Centre Expansion Spells Doom for Parking Spaces!

Are They Sacrificing Convenience for Fitness? Find Out Here!

In a jaw-dropping twist, Truro Leisure Centre in Cornwall is planning a massive 310sqm fitness suite/gym expansion at the expense of precious parking spaces! Brace yourself for the shocking details!

The proposal is set to accommodate the surging number of visitors flocking to the swimming pool and other leisure facilities. But at what cost?

A chilling planning statement warns, “The current service to the community is under threat due to the growing user numbers,” leaving us all wondering if this expansion is worth the sacrifice.

An assessment by GLL (Greenwich Leisure Ltd), the site operator working on behalf of Cornwall Council, argues that the surplus parking spaces are no longer needed, thanks to convenient public transport options. With 61 spaces dwindling to a mere 44, that’s a staggering loss of 17 parking spots!

But that’s not all. The new extension will be an eyesore, looming large and visible from the roundabout. Will this change the landscape forever? And what about security?

The statement tantalisingly reveals, “The increased visibility of the fitness suite could act as a natural ‘advertisement’ of the space and the leisure centre, potentially encouraging more users to participate.” Is this the ingenious secret behind this shocking move?

The suspense is real! Stay tuned for the dramatic decision looming ahead, either from Cornwall Council’s planning department or their secretive committee. For more thrilling details about this daring application under the code PA23/08873, don’t forget to visit Cornwall Council’s planning portal.
