Sports talks focus on cuts
Edinburgh Leisure has been hit by annual reductions in the funding it receives from the city council and has already closed the Crags Sports Centre and Queensferry Recreation Centre.
It also agreed in November to make another £1 million of savings through “less generous” concessions, including the older adult monthly membership going up from £20 to £26.70.
Cllr Deidre Brock, the city’s sports leader, said: “The council and Edinburgh Leisure have been in dialogue to ensure that the optimum level of services can continue to be provided.”
