The consultation has now closed, thank you for your contributions. The consultation report is published in the Documents section of this page.
The Sport and Recreation service provides a wide range of facilities and activities including swimming pools, gyms, fitness classes, football pitches, sports halls, and athletics tracks.
Providing these services is not a statutory responsibility, i.e., not something the Council has to do by law. However, we do recognise the importance of having these facilities, and what they mean to our communities.
The use of our leisure centres and the income they make has unfortunately never returned to the levels we saw before the pandemic. This, together with the unprecedented rises in energy prices means that Wirral’s sport and recreation offer faces the same difficult challenges as the rest of the leisure industry.
This widening gap between the amount of income generated by the service and the cost of running centres means that we may need to make some tough decisions.
These proposals could look to find savings through reducing the current Sport & Recreation service offer.
