In at the steep end SWIMMING lessons have soared in price since the Conservative council put Fareham leisure centre into private hands.  SLM Leisure, the new managers, have pushed up the price of lessons for children by nearly a third from £3 to £3.95 for a half-hour session. The Tories claimed the privatisation would bring investment for repairs and renovations to the building. Lib Dem councillor Peter Davies said: âWe always said a private company would put up charges but they still went ahead. âPublic assets owned by the council should be managed by the council so everybody can have a say when prices go up. âThis has not been discussed by the council as it should be.â
