TRAFFORD Community Leisure Trust is one of the most successful sports services in the UK helping residents to stay fit and healthy.

How dare the Tories slash £450.000 from Trafford's leisure centres and have the gall to say 'business as usual'.

Once again we see devastating cuts to our public services especially for people who are vulnerable and unable to afford to pay membership to private health clubs.

Many families, including our children and senior citizens, will be unable to go swimming due to this stupid unfair decision made by uncaring Tories who should be ashamed of themselves.
