It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock down the existing
seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will consist of a multi-screen cinema,
restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local action group has promised to fight the £30 million
redevelopment of the sports club, which has provided family facilities for over 25 years.
The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members of the group argue
that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town looks. They also dislike the
removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less healthy activities such as video games and
films. Apart from the size of the project, they say that the 550 parking spaces provided will be too few and
parking will become more difficult as a result.
Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in general it will only
have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it will result in up to 4,000 people
being around Layton seafront late at night. ‘A lot of old people and families live nearby,’ he explained. A
meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.
