CAN I express my disgust at the decision of the ruling group of BwD Council to raise the fees of leisure services and in particular the cost of a swim at Waves.

I took my two grandchildren last Saturday and I was appalled at the increase in cost since I last took them. Surely we should be encouraging young people to use our swimming pools and leisure centres and not try to make them financially unviable for people in the lower income bracket.
