Cllr Dr Walsh said that would not be taking place unless serious worries existed.

Cllr Paul Dendle, who is an Inspire Leisure trustee, told councillors the organisation's finances were sound. He rubbished any rumours to the contrary.

Inspire Leisure took on services such as the Arun Leisure Centre in Felpham in April 2006, despite strong opposition, to run them without the need for council bureaucracy.
