This is a question I have been asking myself for-nearly 25 years.

However just before Christmas 2021 there was a specific lack of response from the government in the financial package to help with latest Covid Plan B restrictions which excluded the leisure sector, but included hospitality pubs and restaurants.

The sector has warned of the consequences for gyms and leisure services.

Schools have warned about the late notice for secured funding for SGOs and the Pupil Premium.

Local authorities continually highlight the impact of leisure spending on communities.

So why don’t government understand the sector. What do they understand and what have we been doing wrong all this time?

So what is going on?
