it is

to build a new centre.
Phase
1 was completed
in 2018which was
to build a pontoon to give easy access to
the water for all, especially those with
disabilities.
Phase 2 is to build a compound
by the
pontoon for the storage ofour boats and
equipment.
Phase 3to complete the build.
During
this report period the local authority
began works on a new leisure centre and
housing
which entailed the signing ofa new
lease for the current centre to move our
operations
nearby. The LA plans entailed
significant
alterations
to Seapoint's
building
plans which have had to be put on hold
until other issues, within the LA, are
resolved.
