Leisure Management Options - your chance to comment 
The council is considering different management options for four of our leisure and cultural services - The Hawth, community centres, adventure playgrounds and Tilgate Park. We commissioned an independent organisation to carry out a detailed appraisal of the options for managing these services. Details are on the link above - we'd welcome your comments. This is about potentially changing how the services are managed - not about the services themselves. We want to maintain the quality of these services wherever possible, despite severe financial challenges.
