Petition Details

Bring back free swimming for under 16s and over 60s in Medway

Additional Information

Swimming is a life skill and low income families cannot afford to regularly take their children swimming plus pay for themselves every week. More and more children’s parks and playgrounds are being knocked down and now their free swimming has being taken away and another skill will be lost. Over 60s rely on this as their only form of exercise or social activity.

Decisions about access to local swimming facilities are a matter for the operator, not the UK Government or Parliament.
