correspondence and statistics for Uckfield Leisure Centre
Dear Wealden District Council,
On Thursday 16 March 2023, Cllr Michael Lunn was interviewed on Ashdown Radio. In this interview he claimed that “the District Council did offer to go fifty-fifty split with the County Council on investment to upgrade the pool and heating etc., etc. and that was blatantly disregarded by the County Council”.
Please publish all documents and correspondence under the Freedom of Information Act regarding these investment plans for Uckfield Leisure Centre and the upgrade of the pool.
In addition, please include:
a) Any reports (both internal and external) regarding the future of Uckfield Leisure Centre site written between 01 May 2018 to date.
b) User numbers for Uckfield Leisure Centre between January 2018 to date (broken down by month and year) compared to user numbers at Crowborough and Hailsham Leisure Centres.
c) Pool admissions for Uckfield Leisure Centre between January 2018 to date (broken down by month) compared to pool admissions at Crowborough and Hailsham Leisure Centres.
d) All correspondence in relation to Uckfield Leisure Centre and pool between Wealden District Council and East Sussex County Council (including between council officers and councillors) between 05 May 2019 and to date.
e) Please provide the dates of meetings, agendas, and minutes of any meetings that have taken place between Wealden District Council and East Sussex County Council regarding Uckfield Leisure Centre since 05 May 2019.
f) Please provide all correspondence regarding Uckfield Leisure Centre between Wealden District Council Leader Cllr Ann Newton and Cllr Philip Lunn since 05 May 2019 to date.

Dear Wealden Information Governance Team,
I wrote to you requesting information about Uckfield Leisure Centre on 20 March 2023. You acknowledged my request on the same day. You had a statutory obligation to reply to my request promptly and within 20 working days, by 19 April 2023. You have not done this.
As the response to my request has been delayed, I would be grateful if you could provide your response as soon as possible.
If a response is not received by the close of business on 27 April 2023, I intend to complain to the Information Commissioner and request assistance in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Daniel Manvell

Dear Wealden District Council,
Thank you for providing the information requested in answer to questions b and c. Following your response I would like to request the following:
1. That you conduct an internal review into your response in relation to the following questions:
Please publish all documents and correspondence under the Freedom of Information Act regarding these investment plans for Uckfield Leisure Centre and the upgrade of the pool.
b) Any reports (both internal and external) regarding the future of Uckfield Leisure Centre site written between 1 May 2018 to date.
e) Please provide the dates of meetings, agendas, and minutes of any meetings that have taken place between Wealden District Council and East Sussex County Council regarding Uckfield Leisure Centre since 5 May 2019.
This information should be readily available to the relevant group of officers that are responsible for leisure facilities in Wealden. It should therefore not be onerous to provide this information, which is a matter of significant public interest at the moment.
2. That in response to questions f and g below, you provide correspondence since 5 May 2021, rather than 5 May 2019. The original questions were:
f) Please provide all correspondence regarding Uckfield Leisure Centre between Wealden District Council Leader Cllr Ann Newton and Cllr Philip Lunn since 5 May 2019 to date.
g) Please provide all correspondence regarding Uckfield Leisure Centre between Cllr Ann Newton and East Sussex County Council Leader Cllr Keith Glazier since 5 May 2019 to date.
