A joint letter is to be sent to the Perth and Kinross Council leader and fellow councillors urging them to help suspend the looming gym transformation at Bell’s Sports Centre.

The seven-page letter - signed by former Perth and District Badminton Association president Ian Brown, Perth District Volleyball organiser David Munro and secretary of Perth and Kinross Volleyball Ian Innes - sets out “arguments which we feel have been established which show that the proposal is a major mistake”, suggesting “sensible alternatives”.

The letter implores Live Active Leisure’s (LAL) plans be halted until after the May council elections to allow the then administration to “take a fresh look” at the plans.It also suggests an independent person be appointed to investigate the finances of LAL and consider what other cost-saving measures could be adopted.The move comes ahead of next week’s full council meeting, where it is hoped the £750,000 Bell’s Sports Centre upgrade plans will be discussed.The revamp includes the installation of three fitness studios and the much-criticised transformation of the Coaching Hall into a 100-station gym, with a planned opening date of May 22.

LAL appointed Perth -based contractor One Call and Taylor and Fraser to complete the project, which was first announced in November.
