What the petition asks
Create legislation to make the provision of public swimming pools and sports centres a statutory function for upper tier councils.
Swimming pools and sports centres should be public services provided by local councils and adequately funded by the government. It is a well known fact that fit and healthy people cost the NHS less money. We need to have some joined up thinking regarding public health.
