11.28 It is considered unlikely that there will be further provision of community halls in the<br />
<strong>Borough</strong> over the plan period unless there is a demand for new facilities as part of<br />
larger developments. The only site considered to generate sufficient demand for a new<br />
community hall at this time is considered to be at the former DERA site as part of the<br />
mixed use development forecasted. The <strong>Council</strong>’s Leisure Department advise that any<br />
new community halls should be multi-functional so that they can cater for as broad a<br />
range of activities as possible taking into account the peak time needs of specific<br />
groups for example older people, whose activities tend to be during the daytime, and<br />
working age residents whose activities tend to be during evenings and at weekends.<br />
11.29 A gym will be provided at the former DERA site as part of the mixed use development.<br />
Costs and funding sources<br />
11.30 Any community hall provided at the former DERA site would be initially funded by the<br />
developer. The gym at this site would also initially be funded by the developer.<br />
11.31 It is not yet known how the proposed installation of a swimming pool and other<br />
additional facilities at Egham Leisure Centre would be funded. Lottery funding may be<br />
applied for, money may be borrowed and/or RBC may fund some of works. It is<br />
estimated that the works would cost in the region of £7 million.<br />
11.32 It will cost £213,000 to replace the fitness equipment at Egham and Addlestone Leisure<br />
Centres. RBC will fund this new equipment.<br />

11.33 The biggest risks to this type of infrastructure are considered to be low usage caused<br />
by people not being able to afford membership due to the current economic downturn,<br />
and a lack of available funding leading to facilities becoming tired. This could ultimately<br />
result in the facilities closing down.<br />
11.34 Given however the range in choice in facilities in the <strong>Borough</strong> at the current time and<br />
the range of packages offered (pay as you go gym membership, full membership,<br />
membership for classes only, use of certain facilities (i.e. squash courts) within a facility<br />
without full membership etc), which provide for the needs of a wide range of people, it<br />
is considered that this is a low risk outcome in this instance. This is not to say however,<br />
that refurbishment and/or expansion of existing facilities may need to take place over<br />
the plan period.<br />
