2 June 2010: Future of ice rink looks assured
The Future of Oxford Ice Rink
From the Oxford Mail, 21 May 2009:
Oxford Ice Rink will need £1.7m investment over the next four years. But plans to transform it into a multi-million-pound leisure centre are to be dropped.
The report said: "Consultation has found an ice rink is viewed as a 'must-have' facility within the West End Development.
"Due to the recession, the likelihood of the ice rink being rebuilt within the life of the 10-year contract is viewed as minimal.
"As such Fusion are planning to make improvements to the site to deal with essential repairs and maintenance, improve energy efficiency and improve usage."
