Chorley and South Ribble councils have failed in a bid for funding that would have reduced the huge bill they face to help keep their leisure centres and swimming pools afloat.
The neighbouring boroughs recently committed almost £2m between them - £1.1m from Chorley and £800,000 from South Ribble - to ensure that the facilities make it through the winter. The councils had hoped to be able to ease the strain on their own coffers by seeking cash from Sport England’s Swimming Pool Support Fund - but both have now been told that they have lost out.
Phase one of the Sports England fund allocated £20m to help those facilities with swimming pools which faced “increased cost pressures, leaving them most vulnerable to closure or significant service reduction”. South Ribble’s cabinet member for communities, leisure and wellbeing, Clare Hunter, said that the decision was “disappointing”. However, she added: “This will not deter us from doing all we can to make sure our leisure centres can thrive.
