The growth in private sector investment in health and leisure clubs will provide competition with local authorities. Local authorities have reducing capital and revenue funding available for sport and leisure but the article ends with the question of whether sport and leisure in the future will only be for those who can afford to pay.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
