<p>We recognise the importance of ensuring public access to leisure facilities, including
swimming pools, which are great spaces for people of all ages to stay fit and healthy,
and which play an important role within communities.</p><p>We also recognise the impact
rising energy prices will have on businesses of all sizes. Ofgem and the government
are in regular contact with business groups and suppliers to understand the challenges
they face and explore ways to protect consumers and businesses.</p><p>The ongoing
responsibility of providing access to public leisure facilities lies at Local Authority
level, and the government continues to encourage Local Authorities to invest in leisure
facilities. Sport, and local authorities, are devolved matters, therefore investment
decisions concerning them in Wales are the responsibility of the relevant administration.</p><p>
