With the approval of the Chairman of the Communities Scrutiny Committee, the urgency procedure, special urgency procedure, and waiver of call-in procedure have been invoked to suspend the requirement to publish notice of the decision for 28 days, to suspend the requirement for a 5-day consideration period, and to suspend the 3-day call-in period. These procedures have been invoked because both the Key Theatre and Werrington Leisure Centre are making significant financial losses, which, given the council’s challenging financial position, need to be mitigated as quickly as possible.

1. The proposed closure of The Key Theatre from 17th January 2022.
2. The temporary closure of Werrington Leisure Centre to public use from 1st January 2022 until September 2022.
