What's going on at the NSC?

Post by dickp »

For saying they're plannning knock it down in a couple of years, the LDA are spending a lot of money doing it up.

Have they got cold feet on the master plan or something?

As far as I know, the LDA always planned to do a reasonable 'sticking plaster' job on the old NSC to keep things ticking over until a new sports centre was up and running - that is going to be a good few years yet!

Obviously with English Heritage refusing to allow the demolition of the original listed building, things are a little more up in the air, but I guess they're soldiering on with Plan A anyway (if the NSC building can't be demolished, we'd most likely be looking at a change of use - eg indoor pitches - alongside a new building with other facilities).
