Emerging Options9. 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).
