What the petition asks
The Government MUST give additional funding to local authorities to ensure swimming pools facing reduced hours or closure due to the current and looming energy increases are able to stay open. Pools require additional energy to keep the pools warm and safe to swim in.
Swimming is an essential life skill, and many schools and home education communities rely on local pools to provide lessons to our children. In addition swimming provides essential health benefits for many people who suffer with chronic pain and restrictive disabilities. Not to mention the health benefits and general well-being that swimming provides to the whole population. Swimming pools MUST remain open and available.
