Part 3. Questions 16-20: Read the text and questions below. For each question, choose the 
best answer by circling one letter (A, B, C or D). 
It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock 
down the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will 
consist of a multi-screen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local action 
group has promised to fight the £30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which has 
provided family facilities for over 25 years. 
The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members of 
the group argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town 
looks. They also dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less 
healthy activities such as video games and films. Apart from the size of the project, they say 
that the 550 parking spaces provided will be too few and parking will become more difficult 
as a result. 
Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in general 
it will only have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it will 
result in up to 4,000 people being around Layton seafront late at night. „A lot of old people 
and families live nearby,‟ he explained. A meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.

A. how long it will take to complete the new leisure centre 
B. how many members the action group has 
C. how much it will cost to join the new leisure centre

18. What does the action group think about the new leisure centre? 
A. It will not be right for the area. 
B. It will cost too much to build. 
C. It will not attract enough people.
