The sites are run by a charity on behalf of the council, which has experienced financial issues since the Covid pandemic.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a report by consultants advising the closure of leisure sites in the UK, specifically targeting pools and sports centers to address budget deficits. The report, commissioned by the Local Government Association, suggests that closing these facilities could save local councils up to £500 million annually. It highlights the financial strain on local authorities due to reduced government funding and increased service demands. The consultants recommend prioritizing essential services over leisure, sparking a debate on the impact of such closures on community health and well-being. Critics argue that these closures would disproportionately affect lower-income communities, potentially exacerbating health inequalities.
