:06:36. > :06:38.Grimsby's Ice Arena is to close for good, ending more than 80 years
:06:39. > :06:52.The decision was taken at a meeting this afternoon,
:06:53. > :06:54.with councillors blaming the increasing costs
:06:55. > :06:58.They've been talking about this since 2009,
:06:59. > :07:02.Well, it's finally come down to money - as simple as that.
:07:03. > :07:05.There's been an ice rink at that site in Grimsby since 1975.
:07:06. > :07:08.But over the last few years, it's become clear it's not
:07:09. > :07:11.bringing in enough money, so it's costing too much to run.
:07:12. > :07:14.Now, if we look back at some of the events of recent years,
:07:15. > :07:16.in 2009 there were plans to knock it down.
:07:17. > :07:18.That was stopped by a petition with more than 32,000 signatures.
:07:19. > :07:20.Later that same year, while they were still
:07:21. > :07:22.debating its future, the ice rink received
:07:23. > :07:25.official recognition for the quality of its lessons
:07:26. > :07:28.from the National Iceskating Association.
:07:29. > :07:30.But in June 2014, the ice rink's cooling system failed,
:07:31. > :07:36.At that stage, the council did put in a temporary ice
:07:37. > :07:39.pad costing ?200,000, and they said they were looking for
:07:40. > :07:46.They haven't found anyone who can take over without
:07:47. > :07:51.And they say that at the same time as they've been dealing
:07:52. > :07:53.with government funding cuts, this means the ice rink
:07:54. > :07:57.There's just no money to be found, we just didn't have the funding,
:07:58. > :07:59.and I've said earlier on, because of the Government taking
:08:00. > :08:02.such large amounts of our funding now, and I'm talking
:08:03. > :08:04.about 70 million now in the last six years,
:08:05. > :08:07.we're just finding it very difficult now to provide the services
:08:08. > :08:11.What do people think the impact of this decision will be?
:08:12. > :08:14.There's a lot of sadness amongst people who use the ice rink.
:08:15. > :08:16.There was a protest today before the council meeting.
:08:17. > :08:18.100 or so people went along to try to convince
:08:19. > :08:22.But in the end it was a unanimous decision.
:08:23. > :08:25.Thousands of people visit the rink every year and those that will be
:08:26. > :08:28.most affected by this are probably the hockey clubs for both children
:08:29. > :08:39.There's at least four or five ice hockey teams that
:08:40. > :08:44.And it's a long way to go to the nearest
:08:45. > :08:46.ice rink from here - the nearest one
:08:47. > :08:53.You can't expect people to travel there two or three times a week.
:08:54. > :08:56.So basically, you close down the rink, you deprive
:08:57. > :09:04.them of their sport and their recreational activities.
:09:05. > :09:06.So the protesters say they'll continue to fight this.
:09:07. > :09:07.They're hoping the scrutiny committee will overturn
:09:08. > :09:12.And to be fair to the council, they say they will keep looking
:09:13. > :09:15.for someone to take over the rink and run it commercially.
:09:16. > :09:19.But if that doesn't happen, the rink will have to close
:09:20. > :09:32.We've certainly had a big response to that story tonight. We will
:09:33. > :09:35.report back on that tomorrow. Hull's Ferens Art Gallery now has
:09:36. > :09:38.an opening date following its ?4.5 Visitors will be able to see
