That is actually less than what is needed for many, for one month&#8217;s fuel bills.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow, an important principle of devolution is that consequential funding is not necessarily ring-fenced for the same purpose for which it was allocated by the UK Government,\u201d she continued.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, we took a strategic decision that this would not be effective and our efforts would be better spent on supporting pools and leisure centres to manage energy efficiency in the longer term, through schemes like the Welsh Government energy service, which is a key enabler in providing technical and financial help to the public sector, to deliver on the collective ambition of a net-zero public sector by 2030, and which would supplement anything that the local authorities were doing to support leisure services through their budget settlement.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Deputy Minister also confirmed that Welsh Government has \u201cagreed with the chief leisure officers of Wales group that we will undertake a rapid review of the provision of leisure, the state of the leisure estate, and how it interacts with other public services via a small group of representatives across Wales\u201d. Further details of this group will emerge in due course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find the full debate and the Deputy Minister\u2019s response in Plenary <a href=\"https:\/\/record.assembly.wales\/Plenary\/13523\" class=\"ek-link\">here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The provision of affordable and safe sport, physical activity and leisure in our communities is key to Wales\u2019 ongoing wellbeing and international visibility. Without the infrastructure on our doorstep, it is harder for all of us to enjoy the benefits of regular exercise, pressures will mount on other public services, and we will miss out on future sporting talent.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sport and leisure sector has made substantial investment in decarbonisation over recent years. However, with the squeeze on energy prices, our legal commitment to net zero, and swimming pools\u2019 high energy consumption, we need Government support to get us over the final hurdle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WSA will continue to work with Welsh Government, Sport Wales and the Senedd to advocate on behalf of the breadth of our membership base and state the case for investment in the sport and leisure sector, at a time when the sector faces unprecedented challenges.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t
