Stop Oak Park price increase

This not only affects Oak Park but also Bloxwich Active Living, the price increase of £5 for the Move It, is set to high if you are one a low Income, disabled or an OAP. Pure greed by Walsall Council yet again.

Some families struggle to afford that. No increase.

It’s important to keep prices down, especially for pensioners and young families! It’s a HEALTHY pursuit which is constantly advised us, as well the a social aspect, which is very good for the more lonely trying to make acquaintances and friends. The mix between all the ‘swimmeers’ is good too! Please reconsider raising prices and maintain them as they are currently!

Ridiculous if they put the prices up

I have a family membership, I only ever do classes, I’m not a lover of the gym, price increase would put it out of my reach. The price increases are high considering also the Cleanliness at the Centre is lacking, floors are filthy, drains on showers are clogged with hair, rarely cleaned out. Cubicle walls dirty need a wipe down etc. If the price hike stays I shall need to look somewhere cheaper.

Keep prices same then people have more chances of affording to be able to get fit & use the centre.

Doesn’t seem logical to price everybody out of being able to afford membership

The price increase will deter people from using the leisure centres, then where will they be !!! Another example of paying more for less

More than likey will be cancelling my membsrship due to the price increase.

They need to keep it affordable for families. An on going maintenance and improvement program should be implemented as equipment and facilities suffer from wear and tear. They need to significantly increase the number of classes and make improvements to the booking/cancellation/attendance policy. Ultimately they need to run the centre with the interests of the users as their focus. They really should listen to service users. They will never be able to keep everyone happy but they will get some very good ideas and simple solutions which could be easily implemented.

Completely agree, with child obesity on the rise and again families hit with large increases!!

As a person on disability benefits I got family membership for myself my adult student child and son. I will not be able to afford to continue with this and as children have to stay in education until 18 but have to pay adult membership price families can be extra stung

Signing for families. We encourage young people to exercise and then make it unachievable by hiking prices.

Great facility, except parking price, increase way too much im afraid as a soon to be family of 4 (2 adults, toddler and newborn) we wont be continuing im afraid.

I use the gala and oak park and won't be able to do this now on my move it membership plus it's going up 5 pound a month. I will be cancelling

Too big a cost jump. Will be cancelling mine and sons direct debit soon as a result

I am a student and a member of Oak Park Leisure Centre. I have to pay full price and get no student reduction so the proposed price increase is now probably going to force me to terminate my membership. I only use the classes anyway and not the gym or swimming pool. This price increase only applies to certain Leisure Centres in the Walsall area while others aren’t affected. Surely this can’t be right, especially as some people have already mentioned the facilities on offer not being up to scratch compared to other local fitness centres and the car parking being a nightmare. I really think whoever made this decision needs to look at it again otherwise many disgruntled members including myself will be leaving.

Gutted i only swim

As a pensioner I would find it difficult if the membership did increase to double. Governent tells us to be health and keep active & this hike in price would stop me from attending.

I've cancelled my membership. I joined in 2006. Doesn't look or seem clean anymore.
