Olympian Rebecca Adlington has hit out at the Tories for cuts she fears will lead to swimming pool closures and put lives at risk.
The energy bills support for non-domestic users is being cut by 85% from April, and swimming pools have been left off the list of intensive users eligible for much higher levels of help.
Ms Adlington, who won two freestyle golds in the pool at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, said she was “shocked” by the “short sighted” move by the Government.
