Leisure sector in urgent plea to government as new figures show extent of closures
Eight organisations including Swim England have made a plea to the government to afford swimming pools a higher level of discount on energy prices
Leading bodies have made an "urgent plea" to the government for financial support and the "failure to identify bespoke support for the sector" will be the "final straw" for certain services. Their priority plea is that swimming pools are reclassified as "energy intensive" - like museums and libraries - so they qualify for a higher level of discount on energy prices from April.
Figures compiled by the trade body UK Active show that in the past year 29 leisure centres, pools or gyms have closed temporarily or permanently because of rising energy prices.
