@StuLockwood67 @BBCBreakfast @TVNaga01 @OldhamCouncil @CommLeisureUK @_ukactive @OldhamActive @OldhamActiveCom @Sport_England @RebeccaAdlingto Well said Stuart. We've received £2.5k towards our bill which has increased in a similar scale you yours. A serious attempt to ensure survival of swimming would see pools being included in the business energy cap alongside zoos. And we need a swimming strategy too.

@JimBethell @APPG_Swimming @britishswimming And so many more who skip the social prescribing route & directly access swimming for health reasons. Can we develop a swim strategy for health & education so that swimming doesn't become the preserve of the rich?
Steve Wright is one of thousands who’s health has improved thanks to regular pool time, however two of his local pools have now closed 🏊 He's worried about the impact this could have on him and many others. That’s why we’re saying #DontPutACapOnSwimming More👇 #ValueOfSwimming
We're building #FutureLidos by bringing together project leaders to pool resources and share knowledge. This month @Brynaman_Lido took 40 local families to enjoy the water at @LidoPonty — and shared expertise in management, sustainability and inclusivity.
More than 1000 pools closed so far.
Absolutely this. Swimming is a life-saving, health-preserving, joy-bringing essential, and pools save the public purse billions every year.
