I am appalled at the authorities considering outsourcing the running of our leisure centres.
I cannot believe that a not for profit operation cannot run them cheaper than a profit making business.
The only way this could happen is if they are at best, incompetent. If this path is adopted then included in the decision, should be their resignation.
We see this too often where authorities bungle the running of a service then outsource it.
This is usually after they have spent vast sums with consultants, many who are not completely independent.
