:07:08. > :07:15.do something about it. These developers come to the island and
:07:15. > :07:20.see that they can erect these wind turbines. There is fierce
:07:20. > :07:27.opposition to the windfarms. Anglesey Council says they have
:07:27. > :07:32.received 48 applications to erect wind turbines, seven have been
:07:32. > :07:41.allowed to build. They are considering other projects. A
:07:41. > :07:52.second consultation period has just finished. We hold - hope that the
:07:52. > :08:03.council is a council that listens. There were strong arguments for the

:11:56. > :12:02.have to have leisure centres. Across Wales, there's been an
:12:02. > :12:07.average drop of 5% in expenditure in leisure centres. Anglesey
:12:07. > :12:14.Council and Swansea Council have cut back, but other councils have
:12:14. > :12:18.increased their expenditure on leisure. This leisure centre is an
:12:18. > :12:23.example of investment in Pembrokeshire, but there has been a
:12:23. > :12:28.change in provision in other parts of the county. The County Council
:12:28. > :12:33.decided not to renovate the swimming pool here for monetary
:12:33. > :12:40.reasons. People had protested against the decision. In its place,
:12:40. > :12:45.a new sports hall was built at a cost of more than �1 million. It is
:12:45. > :12:55.something that will cost less to run in the future.
:12:55. > :13:03.We have decided to build new leisure centres. We would invest
:13:03. > :13:11.here. Local authorities are looking at
:13:11. > :13:18.more creative ways of providing these services. We are rooking at
:13:18. > :13:27.different models. We hope that expenditure can be cut back without
:13:27. > :13:34.those who news the service noticing. Despite that, cutting the budget is
:13:34. > :13:37.a huge concern to one of Wales's main runners. We need a boost for
:13:38. > :13:54.sport sport. We don't need money being cut. It seems the strain will
:13:55. > :14:02.You have had to make very difficult decisions. Is leisure the first to
:14:02. > :14:10.suffer all the time? No, I wouldn't say that. In your report, we have
:14:10. > :14:15.to make sure that other services are given precedent, but we have to
:14:16. > :14:24.make sure that we invest in leisure. It will mean less pressure on the
:14:24. > :14:31.NHS and other services. Instead, you are cutting 5% on
:14:31. > :14:36.average across Wales. Why won't councils invest so people? -- do
:14:36. > :14:41.people have to pay for the service? That's part of the service we need
:14:41. > :14:51.to discuss with the public. What are we to do in that situation - in
:14:51. > :14:56.leisure, it's a matter of how we can invest. Should we change
:14:56. > :15:01.services in Gwynedd, we can use natural resources as well.
:15:01. > :15:06.The Welsh Government will say next week in a draft budget how much
:15:06. > :15:14.money local authorities will have to spend. Do you think it will

:15:24. > :15:30.We were told our budget will be cut. It is a bleak picture, but we have
:15:30. > :15:37.to offer hope in this situation. I think the way to do that is to
