Your three Marylebone Councillors have been advised by Cllr Tim Roca, Cabinet Member for Children and Communities, that the Library will definitely, including the Children’s section, be going into Seymour Leisure Centre, and not into any part of the Moxon Street development Community area.
The location of Seymour Leisure Centre serves not only locals in Marylebone but also people from nearby areas including Church Street and Hyde Park. We agree the investment should seek the best outcome, but comments should take into account that the £40m budget is already stretched in this important listed building. As well participating in various sports, the priority for many Centre users is for the enhancement of mind and body and to help mental health and medical conditions. Delaying development of the site is upsetting to staff and users. Your local Councillors strongly support the development of the Seymour Leisure Centre we urge everyone to get behind this project.
