High expense

I DARE SAY there will be many children and adults wishing to use the new Go Vertical climbing walls in Cwmbran Stadium in the school holiday but won't because of the exorbitant cost of doing so (£8 for juniors /£10 for adults).
 If I wanted to experience the Go Vertical walls with my partner and daughter, it would cost me £28. With 28.58 per cent of children living in poverty in Torfaen:
1. Many children in the borough will be excluded and the pricing policy of Torfaen Leisure Trust is one which is woefully out of touch with the need to provide for all children.
This is a failure to provide a leisure service, as people are being excluded for being poor.(Many of whom are actually in work but are being poorly paid or on zero-hour contracts!)
If you are unemployed and on benefits, then you can forget all about using the new £2million Go Vertical facility. It seems Torfaen Leisure Trust are only catering for those who get paid above the minimum wage!
Consider also the cost of actually getting to Cwmbran Stadium say from Trevethin (34 per cent child poverty).
2. On the bus, £7+per adult and the exclusion is complete. I thought that we were supposed to be encouraging children to get active and fit ? It is predicted that by the year 2019, a staggering 85 per cent of adults and children in Wales will be obese, so we have to make the use of leisure centres affordable for all, not just for a middle-class elite! Torfaen Leisure trust must have a serious rethink on its pricing policy.
