'It's not really what you want'
12:25pm Monday 19th May 2008
THE chairman of a sports group has said he is "disappointed" by a council decision to grant planning permission for a proposal to replace a leisure centre last week.
Harrow Council wants to build a new leisure centre on the site of Harrow Skatepark, in Byron Park. Harrow Leisure Centre, in Christchurch Avenue, will be knocked down once its replacement is built.
Don Goff, chairman of Harrow Sports Council, said: "I'm disappointed because the new building will be smaller, which means facilities are going to be lost.
"In this day and age when you want to think about the health of people in the borough, and with the olympics coming up as well, it's not really what you want."
