Wallsend游泳池的学校嘉年华会租价翻了一番, 达到700美元, 现在每小时每车程20美元, 引起对公平和可负担性的批评。 Lane hire fees at Wallsend Swimming Pool doubled to $700 for school carnivals, now $20 per lane per hour, sparking criticism over fairness and affordability. 这一增加是由于过去的低价,无法支付救生员工资, 继BlueFit与纽卡斯尔内陆游泳池管理七年合同之后. The increase, attributed to past underpricing that failed to cover lifeguard wages, follows BlueFit’s seven-year contract to manage Newcastle’s inland pools. 虽然该市为4个游泳池启动了2美元的入门试验,以改善入学机会,但尽管入门费减少,学校仍面临更高的租金费用。 While the city launched a $2 entry trial for four pools to improve access, schools face higher hire costs despite reduced entry fees. BlueFit承认过去收费申请前后不一致,正在与学校合作确保公平执行。 BlueFit acknowledged inconsistent past fee application and is working with schools to ensure fair implementation. 批评者,包括Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery, 质疑在私营化问题下提高租金的逻辑, 尽管理事会维持学校总费用已经下降。 Critics, including Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery, question the logic of rising hire fees amid privatization concerns, though the council maintains the overall cost to schools has decreased.
