Senedd members warn an urgent cash boost is needed to stop leisure centres and libraries closing.
says the benefits to people's health and wellbeing of leisure centres and libraries were not always fully appreciated by the Welsh government and local councils.
Welsh ministers should receive around £3.5m in extra cash as a result of Jeremy Hunt's announcement, but there has been no equivalent boost for pools in Wales announced, although the Welsh government is free to spend such additional sums as it wishes.Libraries offer much more than a chance to borrow books, the committee says
The report says efforts to make leisure centres and libraries more energy efficient are not enough, and despite some government funding make buildings greener the committee heard that was not enough to hit targets to decarbonise buildings by 2030. "Budget cuts are causing great difficulty, and this situation needs to be addressed before it gets worse," he said.
