Cheshire East councillors have rubber-stamped a move to scrap plans to transform Flag Lane Baths into a community hub and seek permission to use the site for a school.
The economy and growth committee was told the cost of the proposed community hub scheme, put forward by Always Ahead charity, has spiralled because of delays due to concerns about the building’s structure.
Council plans to enhance the leisure, training, and spectator facilities at South Cheshire’s athletics venue Cumberland Arena have been approved.
The Everybody Health and Leisure scheme will extend and adapt the venue on Thomas Street in Crewe.
Business cases for two major projects in Crewe have been approved by government.
Project leaders say the approval marks a milestone as Crewe Town Board believes it “shows confidence in our vision for Crewe”.
