What the petition asks
The Government should create legislation to make the provision of sports and leisure centres, including public swimming pools, a statutory requirement for all local authorities, and provide funding for these facilities to be built and maintained.
There is currently insufficient funding at a local level to provide these essential services and councils are unable to support the provision without Government intervention.
