Minding the gap

There will inevitably be a gap between the closure of the old facilities and the opening of the new. The three partner organisations intend to minimise the impact by:

• Continuing to explore possible ways to keep the old facilities open a little longer

• Identifying alternative facilities in the area

• Negotiating to make those facilities available to the public

• Improving access to those facilities by working with transport providers

• Investigating sources of funding to support the process.
