Whilst walking through Southampton City Sports Centre, on towards the Municipal Golf course, I was horrified to see how run -down the sports centre looks.

The buildings adjacent to the running track are in a state disrepair.

Why hasn't the council looked after the buildings. As with any property, maintenance will always be required to keep buildings to decent condition.

There has been a lack of investment for years.

Now the council has decided that the best way forward is to sell some land off, near to the site.

To re-invest in the centre, but the council should have kept the buildings in a fit and proper state. What a shambles.
