This is the list of documents available for the submission Immediate Closure of Bo'ness Recreation Centre Following the Bo'ness Recreation Centre's immediate closure, on receipt of a WPS Report into the structural integrity of the Centre's swimming pool, Councillors were extremely concerned to learn of the apparent risk to public safety. The closure would appear to have been the only option available to the Council. Development Services Report 2019 It was therefore alarming to learn of the existence of a Development Services Report of 2019 which had identified problems with the swimming pool and had recommended, ""In view of the hazard to the public and the increased risk caused by the weakened corner of the structure, it is my opinion that the swimming pool should be closed and drained as soon as possible. Monitoring the cracks and damage would not be appropriate in these circumstances. A specialist contractor should be appointed to repair the swimming pool." What repairs, if any, were carried out by a specialist contractor? What risk were the Council exposed to during the period of repairs being required? Recommendations Council officers are tasked to perform a full audit of all property/assets previously located within the portfolio of the Community Trust to ensure that no other facility remains a safety concern to residents and users of Council facilities. It is concerning that the insurance liabilities of Falkirk Council may have been significant. Proposed by Councillor McCabe.
