Emerging Options
9. The following options for the future of the centre have emerged from
local discussions. Which of these would be your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice for
this centre?
The centre is offered for use for pre-school provision by a private
enterprise. This would bring some income to the council but would mean
the centre is unavailable for wider community use.
The Centre is closed and the site sold for residential development. A
proportion of the capital receipt to be invested in other community
facilities in Otley.
The Centre operates in its current format and the council subsidises any
loss made throughout the year (Approx 6k).

10. Do you have any other suggestion for the future of this centre?
