CLOSURES OF CR??CHES BY EDINBURGH CITY COUNCIL

That this House notes with concern the proposed closures of cr??ches in public swimming pools and leisure centres in Edinburgh as a result of financial cutbacks imposed by the Liberal Democrat/SNP administration on Edinburgh City Council; notes that these cr??che facilities are a well-used community resource that enable many parents and carers to swim, use gyms or take part in exercise classes; regards such closures as totally at variance with the stated commitment of both UK and devolved governments to promote fitness and public health; and urges Edinburgh City Council to reverse this decision.
