Wakefield Council had been expected to assign £5.9m to Kellingley Social Club's refurbishment.
Plans to turn a rundown Knottingley social club into a new community hub have been scrapped after a report to councillors was branded "a shambles".
But council leader Denise Jeffery said the agenda item had been deferred to allow a new report to be drawn up.Image source,Knottingley councillor Tom Gordon branded the council report into the plan 'a shambles' The funding would have enabled phase one of the project to begin by refurbishing the club's sports pavilion.Mr Gordon said residents were angry over proposals to provide community services on licensed premises."It is reckless, dangerous, and frankly ethically wrong to ask people who may have a history of substance abuse, or need help, support or training, or need to access employment, or have suffered abuse, to go get help at a licensed premises.
He said: "It would always be busy. Many people would be drinking. There would be rooms with buffets on. Everyone's 18th and 21st birthday parties would be there."
