Report of the Assistant Director – Community Services

The Head of Leisure presented performance indicators for the following areas – Dolphin Centre visitor numbers, school pupils in the Sports Development Programme and number of individuals participating in the Community Sports Development Programme.

It was reported that Dolphin Centre visitor numbers have shown a decrease which is attributed to the closure of the main pool due to upgrade works.  However, it is noted that other services available at the Dolphin Centre have performed extremely well.

The number of school pupils participating in the Sports Development Programme has decreased, however this is attributed to capital project works at Eastbourne Sports Complex which has limited the scope of hostable events.

Members were informed that the number of individuals participating in the Community Sports Development Programme has increased.  Numbers at the Holiday Activity Project remaining consistent with previous years while experiencing improved drop-off rates.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and members expressed thanks for the efforts of all Leisure staff for their contributions to the positive figures.
