I worked hard to encourage people to attend September’s exhibition (of plans for Epping’s replacement sports centre). I am very pleased the council has reversed its position and accepted that Epping needs its sports hall as well as the proposed new swimming pool.
If we are to make the most of the new facility it’s important that local sports groups and clubs have a say on how the new sports hall is designed and managed, and that it meets the needs of people with disabilities. This is an opportunity to expand the range of sports available to local people and give local clubs access to high quality training facilities.

Epping
