This Council also notes that:

·        The land on the West side of the King Alfred is vacant and available now, although may not be appropriate or feasible for a year-round ice rink

·        Local residents could be consulted in order to utilise this land for some form of meantime-use to community benefit, including a pop-up ice rink if feasible, before long term plans for the King Alfred take shape”

 

21.7    The Mayor confirmed that the motion had been carried.
