Will the Minister provide an update on what discussions the Welsh Government is having with local authorities about supporting local-authority run leisure centres?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism | Answered on 21/03/2024
We continue to work with the Welsh Local Government Association and local authorities to better understand the challenges and opportunities in providing and managing leisure facilities. My officials discussed the situation regarding leisure centres at the last meeting of the Chief Leisure Officers Wales group, on 23 February 2024. We will shortly circulate a survey to gather more insight.
