Kelburne Hockey Club’s bid to take over the running of Ralston Community Sports Centre has been turned down by Renfrewshire Council for a second time.
The club launched an appeal after its application for a community asset transfer (CAT) of the facility from OneRen was refused last August on the grounds of “uncertainty of funding” to carry out planned works and “significant” opposition to the plan.
But councillors made a unanimous ruling to uphold the original decision at a crunch meeting on Wednesday afternoon – citing similar concerns which focused on community buy-in and costings associated with ambitious pitch plans.
