Decision details

Failsworth Sports Centre – Replacement Boilers and Controls Upgrade

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Communities and Culture

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Failsworth Sports Centre has been experiencing poor heating system performance for the past few years due to the failure of two out of four boilers. The two failed boilers are beyond repair.
Due to the age of the boilers and the lack of available parts, the two operational boilers are being kept working by utilising parts from the two redundant boilers.
The failure of another boiler would result in the Centre having to close.

Decision:

RESOLVED - That: Replace the existing boilers and upgrade the controls to provide Failsworth Sports Centre with a reliable and efficient boiler system.

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 - to replace the existing boilers and upgrade the controls to provide Failsworth Sports Centre with a reliable and efficient boiler system.
Option 2 - Do nothing.

Alternative options considered:

Option 2 - Do nothing. Not considered as being viable due to two boilers having already failed beyond repair and the lack of parts available due to the age of the operational boilers. Failure of a further boiler would result in the closure of the Centre.
