The Sports Centre is a designated evacuation centre. There are others around the borough, the purpose being that should homes need to be evacuated i.e. flood, fire, chemical leak, there is a pre arranged procedure and somewhere to take them.

Presumably the Sports Centre is the nearest to the area that needed to be evacuated. I really don't think there is anything of suspicion in that - it makes sense to have some sort of procedure to follow.

The Civic Theatre is the designated evacuation point in Oswaldtwistle should something like this have happened in this area. I know this because we are having to discuss other alternative arrangements for evacuation of the area during the refurbishment of the theatre next year. (And by this I do not mean that they are planning a full scale evacuation of Oswaldtwistle some time next year - I mean that should their be a need to evacuate i.e. flood, fire etc, that alternative arrangements are in place).

Imagine the alternative, the river bursts its banks during a flood and thirty homes are waterlogged. Where would you expect those families to go to? Not everyone would have friends and family in neighbouring towns to turn to. There is a predesignated point to take families to where they can be checked by medics and ensured that everyone is safe and accounted for - what if a child from one of those houses was missing?
