Happy to see Govt support for non league football. Still waiting for financial support for public sector leisure. Participation over elite sports. Remember? #saveleisure
I think it's more than that - we have at least 90 @NCDSwimClub who still can't access pools and GLL want Β£20 per lane per hour if/when they do open @Swim_England@RishiSunak#fightingforpools we need a rescue package
Good to talk sport, tourism and heritage with @sheryllmurray MP in Liskeard, #Cornwall as I travel around the South West to promote the #EscapeTheEveryday campaign.
