WQ87004 (e) Tabled on 15/12/2022

What assessment has the Minister made of Powys County Council’s decision to shut leisure centres and swimming pools?

Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip | Answered on 23/12/2022

Local authorities are responsible for assessing local need for services and how they will be delivered.

The provisional local government was published on 14 December, providing local government with a 7.9% increase in core revenue funding, compared to the current year.

This has enabled Powys Council to reverse its decision to temporarily close three leisure centres and three swimming pools.
