Johnny has welcomed the news that Woughton Leisure Centre in Milton Keynes will benefit from a £297,700 investment to improve its energy efficiency.
The funding is part of the Swimming Pool Support Fund which has invested £80 million into 442 swimming pools across the country since last year.
The investment will fund energy efficiency measures at Woughton Leisure Centre with heat recovery to air handling units and Photo Voltaic (PV) panels, relieving financial pressure by reducing running costs.
Under the new sports strategy, the Conservative Government is aiming to get 3.5 million more people active by 2030, meeting the Chief Medical Officer’s guidance of 150 minutes per week of exercise for adults and 60 minutes per day for young people.
Alongside the Swimming Pool Support Fund, this Conservative Government is investing over £300 million in grassroots sports facilities including football pitches and tennis courts, sticking to the plan to get more people active, improving people’s health to ensure a brighter future for all.
