It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knockdown the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that willconsist of a multi-screen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local actiongroup has promised to fight the £30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which hasprovided family facilities for over 25 years.The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members ofthe group argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the townlooks. They also dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to lesshealthy activities such as video games and films. Apart from the size of the project, they saythat the 550 parking spaces provided will be too few and parking will become more difficultas a result.Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in generalit will only have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it willresult in up to 4,000 people being around Layton seafront late at night. „A lot of old peopleand families live nearby,‟ he explained. A meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.16.
