A Masterton sporting body is contemplating legal action against the district council over a property claim it says the council is refusing to negotiate over.
Athletics & Cycling Masterton (ACM) has listed taking legal action as one of two options regarding the renewal of its lease for the Sportsbowl Pavilion.
The other option is to call on Masterton District councillors to step into the debate and collectively support ACM's lease renewal, something the club says it has been unable to convince council officers to do.
In May the century-old club, which is an amalgam of the Masterton Harrier Club and Masterton Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club, spoke out over the uncertainty of its clubrooms overlooking the new all-weather sports track.
The rooms, built in the early 1980s in a combined effort between the Harriers and Masterton Borough Council, were on lease until the original 28-year lease expired in 2009.
