Construction of new Barnstaple leisure centre approved
Daniel Clark
Local Democracy Reporting Service
Plans for Barnstaple's new leisure centre have taken a huge step forward.
North Devon Council last week approved the recommendation to proceed with the construction of a new swimming pool, sports hall and exercise studios on the Seven Brethren site, next to the Tarka Tennis Centre.
The new leisure centre would replace the existing North Devon Leisure Centre which is set to close in 2020 as, past that period, it would be "unviable" - previous reports to the executive had said.
Subject to funding applications to Sport England and Coastal Communities Fund being successful, work on the project is set to start later this year.

The proposed site of a new Aldi at Plympton, in the overflow car park for ChaplinsImage caption: The proposed site of a new Aldi at Plympton, in the overflow car park for Chaplins
Plymouth planners have heard concerns a new Aldi in Plympton could damage the viability of local shops.
They were discussing an application for the new store in an overflow car park next to the Chaplin's store off Galileo Close.
Aldi says the new store would bring choice and create 40 jobs, with spin-off trade in the local area and minimal impact on local shops.
But councillors were concerned about the impact on the Ridgeway Centre at Plympton, which has a Co-op anchor store and an Iceland.
The city council's planning committee was recommended to refuse the application because of a lack of up-to-date information about the effect on local shopping habits after Lidl opened in Plymouth Road in 2016.
However, councillors voted to defer a decision after being told there was a problem with inaccurate figures in a report on the application.

Taxi driver fees to rise despite convoy protests
Ed Oldfield
Local Democracy Reporting Service
Plymouth City Council is set to go ahead with raising fees paid by taxi drivers despite protests and a legal challenge.
The size of the original proposed increases led to noisy protests by taxi drivers who twice drove in convoy through the city centre to highlight their opposition.
The changes include a proposed rise of more than 80% for a three-year licence for hackney and private hire drivers.
The council said taxi licensing had to cover its costs and the rises were needed over five years to avoid a deficit.
PACopyright: PA
After public consultation over the original set of new fees published in January, a second option with lower increases in the first year was put forward.
A meeting of the taxi licensing sub-committee in February deferred a decision after the council received a legal challenge on behalf of the Plymouth Licensed Taxi Association.
Plymouth City Council was found to have acted in accordance to legal advice regarding the setting of fees.
The sub-committee is being recommended to approve new fees coming into force straight away for a year - either the original proposal or the second option with lower rises - at a meeting on 21 March.
A spokesman for the Plymouth Licensed Taxi Association declined to comment ahead of the meeting.
