As senior Harrogate councillors decide on setting up a new leisure company to run services across the district, the responses from the public have not all been positive.
Nearly half of the 433 respondents to the council's consultation on the future of leisure and sport said they either strongly disagreed or disagreed with the plan to set up an arms length company.
The authority is to vote tonight on whether or not to set up the company owned by the council, called Brimham’s Active, to run services such as the Harrogate Hydro and Ripon Leisure Centre.
Another said the authority should retain control of the service.
Others said it should serve the interest of the wider public.
