Plans could see the historic parish of Greasley in Broxtowe being completely dissolved
A historic area of Nottinghamshire is "fighting for its life" as new plans could see it completely wiped off the map. Greasley, in the Broxtowe area of the county, is mentioned in the Domesday book and was hugely influential in the work of the celebrated author D.H. Lawrence.
The parish of Greasley has stood in its current form for over 100 years and would be divided up under plans proposed by Broxtowe Borough Council. The Labour-led authority is carrying out a 'community governance review' to look at how different areas should be governed at the parish level. Ms Turgoose says the GSCC is the only council-run leisure site in the north of Broxtowe following the closure of Kimberley School's swimming pool and gym in March 2024. Greasley Parish Council services would have to be maintained if plans go ahead, but there is concern about what they will look like.
It is this community aspect of the centre which Ms Turgoose fears would be lost if it was to be taken on by a company like Liberty Leisure, a profit-making company delivering Broxtowe Borough Council leisure services. Another concern is the loss of heritage connected to the renowned author D.H. Lawrence.
