Dudley Council voted by a clear majority to keep our leisure centres 'run by the Council'
Disgracefully, their leaders now want to ignore this vote and plough ahead with the privatisation

Dudley Councillors have voted by a clear majority to keep our leisure centres 'managed and run by the Council'

Disgracefully, Council leaders now seem to want to ignore this vote and plough ahead with their own privatisation plans

The full Council recommended that leisure centres stay in the Council. But the cabinet plan to disregard this and plough ahead with the privatisation in any case

But we can stop them. Join our WhatsApp grp

Accessible sports+leisure facilities help keep our kids healthy and active. They also provide the base from which great athletes emerge.

Let's fight to keep Crystal Leisure Centre a public service and not a source of profit
