Ali Aydogdu, Local Conservative election candidate for Urmston has welcomed the news that Move Urmston will benefit from a £62,700 investment to improve its energy efficiency.
The funding is part of the Swimming Pool Support Fund which has invested £80 million into 442 swimming pools across the country since last year.
The investment will fund energy efficiency measures at Move Urmston by installing additional metering and monitoring software and pool covers, relieving financial pressure by reducing running costs.
Under the new sports strategy, the Conservative Government is aiming to get 3.5 million more people active by 2030, meeting the Chief Medical Officer’s guidance of 150 minutes per week of exercise for adults and 60 minutes per day for young people.
Alongside the Swimming Pool Support Fund, this Conservative Government is investing over £300 million in grassroots sports facilities including football pitches and tennis courts, sticking to the plan to get more people active, improving people’s health to ensure a brighter future for all.
Commenting, Ali Aydogdu said:
“Move Urmston is a brilliant facility, allowing people of all ages and abilities to access the mental and physical benefits that come with exercise.
“That is why I am delighted that Move Urmston has received £62,700 investment from this Conservative Government, improving the pools energy efficiency, keeping running costs down and giving more people the opportunity to swim whilst reducing our environmental impact."
