There have been 114 objections to the plan
Controversial proposals to create £12 million leisure centre at Wilsons Playing Fields in Clayton-le-Moors to replace the swimming pool in Mercer Hall will be debated on Wednesday .
A planning officer’s report to Wednesday’s meeting says: “The 7.6 hectare site comprises at present a single storey clubhouse which consists of changing facilities, club room, kitchen and groundsman’s garage. The wider site consists of an athletics track, a rugby league pitch and five football pitches.
The report says the objections include a call to refurbish the Mercer Hall pool, the lack of proper consideration of other sites, traffic congestion, inadequate parking, a detrimental effect on protected ‘Green Belt’ countryside and trees, risks of pollution and flooding and that the scheme is a ‘waste of public money’ not wanted by residents.
“There is a recognised shortage of facilities in Hyndburn, in particular a water deficit as recognised by Swim England. There is an acute local health and well-being need for this facility in Hyndburn.
