“I was pleased to have the opportunity during Culture, Media and Sport Questions at the House of Commons yesterday to press Sports Minister Richard Caborn about Cricklade and Calne Leisure Centres,” said North Wiltshire MP James Gray.

“The Minister has taken an interest in the future of leisure provision in North Wiltshire, and so I was pleased to hear him say that he will follow up his concern about Lime Kiln in Wootton Bassett with an offer of help for Cricklade and Calne - I will certainly take him up on this if the Liberal Democrats do not back down.”
