Leisure centres should open straight after lockdown, says Shropshire MP
Leisure centres should open as soon as possible when lockdown ends, a Shropshire MP has said.
Owen Paterson, MP for north Shropshire, visited the Oswestry Leisure Centre recently and saw for himself the Covid-19 secure measures that have been put in place.
During his visit he met with staff and toured the centre on the Shrewsbury Road on the edge of the town.
"I was very impressed with the measure that the centre has in place to ensure social distancing and to keep activities as safe as they possibly can be," he said.
"Maintaining physical health is vitally important to people's mental health.
"I hope that leisure centres and gyms can reopen as soon as the lockdown ends in December."
