Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports that a petition against closing New Parks Leisure Centre in Leicester has passed the threshold for a full council debate. It sets the council's reasons for the plan beside the campaigners' case and attributes each to its source. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“The authority previously said the proposals were being considered because New Parks was its least-used leisure centre and had a higher cost per visitor than its other facilities.”
The BBC attributes the council's case for closure to the council. It does not state usage and cost claims as its own facts.
“The only activities that will not be provided will be squash and swimming”
The BBC keeps the council's own admission of what residents would lose. The reader gets the concrete effect of closure, not only the promise of alternatives.
