THE senior councillor involved with repair worked needed on the Basingstoke ice rink has said he has requested a further meeting with the head of Planet Ice after the operator issued a statement hitting back at comments made by him. Cabinet member for regeneration and property Cllr John Izett described the statement, issued jointly by Planet Ice s chief operating officer Heath Rhodes and landlord Standard Securities, as helpful , and stated that while the £1.5 million council contribution requested would not be possible, he is keen to explore options for investment . The statement was in response to comments made by Cllr Izette, expressing disappointment at the operators financial request. It reiterated that the two companies believe the damage to the rink to have stemmed from work carried out by the council in 2000, and said that the survival of the rink in the long-term was subject to council support.
A SENIOR councillor has has expressed his disappointment at the lack of progress with ice rink repairs. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is the owner of the leisure park but Basingstoke ice rink is not a council-run facility. It was leased at no rent on a long-term basis to the operator Planet Ice in 2000. The leases require the current landlord Standard Securities and operator Planet Ice to keep the building in good and substantial repair, otherwise the council can take legal action to seek to have repairs carried out. Cabinet member for regeneration and property Cllr John Izett said: “We want a solution and are pressing for progress to happen as quickly as possible, recognising the role that the rink plays in the town and the community support for it.
THE council has responded to concerns raised about its decision to recommend that public and press be excluded from hearing the latest update on Basingstoke s ice rink. Members of the council s Community, Environment and Partnerships (CEP) committee are receiving an update on the situation this evening (Wednesday December 16) from portfolio holder Cllr John Izett and council officer Kate Dean, after many expressed concern at a previous meeting about lack of action on the issue. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council told the Gazette that the report to committee contains exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972. Many were unimpressed by the news, with one Facebook commenter writing: We have been waiting six months to hear what s in the report and suddenly they are excluding us!?!?
