We too are disappointed with the announcement to keep gyms, pools and leisure centres closed.
We will do everything we can, to work to overturn this decision, to
#unlockleisure
and begin providing essential facilities for the community.
"If pubs and restaurants can re-open it defies logic that indoor sports and leisure facilities remain closed – particularly those designed to serve local communities."

Let's show our support in keeping the nation moving by signing the following petition:
We call on Government to recognise the essential role public leisure centres play in protecting the physical and mental well-being of local communities and to keep our facilities open.
We are safe, we are essential - we are better together.
