The council said 1,130 people gave their views on the future of the community facility, which represents about 10% of the population of the town. The two most popular options in the vote were to replace the roof and carry out other essential work, or to leave the Raac in place, but to build a supporting framework.The third most popular option was to knock down the building and build a similar facility, which it previously said could cost up to £7.6m.
