PLANS to build a long-awaited sports and leisure centre in the Malton area could cost nearly £3m, according to Ryedale District Council.
The authority's director of operations, John Davison, said in a report that providing a dual-use sports facility in the Malton and Norton area was a priority as part of the council's sports strategy.
But he warned that the authority would need to explore how the cost would be funded and take account of the impact of any spending on future budgets.
The favoured site is at Malton School. Negotiations on whether it could be used by other schools, as well as the public, are to be held with the county council.
