It seems as well a tax payer funded leisure services in Hyndburn, which discriminate along gender lines, such as...
events
H.B.C. are actively supporting a whole host of single sex sport and leisure activities in the bourough.
'The findings of a survey of 250 women has led the borough council to draw up plans to offer low-cost fitness classes in community venues in a £200,000 scheme.'
'According to the survey, 57 per cent of the area’s women do not take part in any sport or active recreation.'
'Men in the borough do not fare much better at just 21 per cent hitting that target.'
'However, the group which produced the report was specifically asked to focus on women.'
'This is because the council wanted to tap into funding from the Active Women fund, which only pays for activities to get females fitter.'

As you say, it does all sound 'very sexist, and should not be allowed'. I quite agree.
Whatever happened to equality?
