PEOPLE in Leicester are being asked for their views on the sports and leisure centres owned and run by Leicester City Council.
The council wants to hear from people who use its seven leisure centres with swimming pools located across the city, and from users of the Saffron Lane athletics track. It also wants to hear from people who choose not to use them, so it can understand why not.
Assistant city mayor for sports, leisure and culture, Cllr Vi Dempster, said: “Over the last five years we have invested in our leisure centres, enhancing and improving our facilities and expanding our programmes and activities. As a result, visitor numbers have increased to more than 1.5 million and leisure centre membership now stands at 20,000.
“It’s important that we understand what makes our leisure centres appealing for people to use, so I would encourage people to tell us their views. This survey is for all city residents, so we really want to hear from people who don’t currently use our leisure centres, as well as those who do.”
People can give their views online until 11 May at consultations.leicester.gov.uk
Paper versions to fill in are also available at council venues, including libraries and leisure centres.
