Edinburgh leisure does possibly subsidies more middle class activity from the Edinburgh International Climbing, to the Craiglockhart Leisure Centre &amp; Tennis Centre to the the common wealth pool. When I used to go to craiglockhart lots of expensive cars outside and get claimants from the Scottish government running 40k Audis that were getting discounts at Edinburgh when I was expected to pay full price when unemployed. Edinburgh leisure subsidies the middle class hobbies and government employees leisure its one subsidy to justify another. </p> <p>Edinburgh leisure is about pleasure in middle class leisure. </p> <p>However I agree with the council person on the surfing lake decision and the climbing centre although possibly bias , not so sure about tennis </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17458#post-243261 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:23:57 +0000 amir 243261@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will it be heated? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17458#post-243260 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:21:09 +0000 steveo 243260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The council keep threatening to close local facilities so they can pay for that retched climbing centre, how long before this becomes another waste of resources.</p> <p>Don't get me wrong I can see the benefit of an indoor climbing wall, I also get the benefit of the location of the current wall, I understand it was a good wall (before the development). What I don't understand is who thought it would be a good idea to build an indoor wall there that utilises none of the natural wall. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17458#post-243257 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 10:49:57 +0000 Stickman 243257@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And people say that money shouldn't be spent on cycling because it's a "minority interest". </p> <p>I would love to see their business plan and forecasts. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17458#post-243253 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 10:31:10 +0000 I were right about that saddle 243253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone suggesting this is a giant mechanical albatross just doesn't get the benefits of indoor out of town surfing.
