The escalating cost of energy has seen a predicted £287,000 loss by the company that runs the centres.
The shock decision comes as the escalating cost of energy has seen a predicted £287,000 loss by Freedom Leisure which runs the facilities in a £2.5 million contract with Powys County Council.
The cabinet will also start the process to review leisure service provision in Powys after it was predicted that Freedom Leisure will need an extra £1.1million next year from the council to run leisure services as they are. “The UK Government has created the unstable financial market and has not reacted to the energy crisis. The whole of the leisure sector throughout the UK has been affected."He said Freedom Leisure had been taking measures to try and bring down the cost of its utility bills but that was not enough.
Opposition councillors say they are set to “call in” and scrutinise the decision by the Labour/Liberal Powys administration.
