These requests will establish a new relationship with our sector in a new political environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do we want modern Britain to look like? If our sector is going to flourish and thrive \u2013 if it\u2019s optimism is going to be realised \u2013 it needs an environment that supports it and provides people with the opportunities to be physically active.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on high streets, she highlighted a Freedom of Information request from ukactive, showing that councils with high vacancy rates on the high street consistently score below national averages for key public health indicators including life expectancy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can play a key role in delivering urban renewal, transforming our towns and cities, and at the same time improving public health as well as economic health,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut right now our hands are tied \u2013 the shackles of regulation mean that gyms and leisure centres are not on a level playing field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we urge the main political parties to commit to addressing high rates of retail vacancy on the high street by changing the restrictive aspects of the \u2018use class system\u2019 \u2013 encouraging fitness and leisure operators to open on the high street and across town developments on a greater scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baroness Grey-Thompson was joined at the QEII Centre in Westminster by speakers including Health Secretary Matt Hancock, Olympic gold medallist Dame Jess Ennis-Hill, former Cabinet Secretary Lord Gus O\u2019Donnell and Chair of the Royal College of GPs, Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing more than 600 leaders and policymakers from across the health, fitness, sport, leisure, business, retail and construction sectors, the speakers discussed the opportunities for physical activity to transform health and social outcomes in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The event, held in partnership with Willmott Dixon and eGym, positions physical activity, and the sectors that deliver it, as critical to the health, wellbeing and prosperity of the nation. This year\u2019s theme reflects three major areas of public life: How we live, Where we live, and How we work.<\/p>\n<p>Sport England led a dedicated session throughout the day focused on how its Active Environments strategy is making an impact across the country, while other breakouts explored the role of physical activity in the NHS Long Term Plan; combatting youth violence through physical activity; delivering the ambitions of the Prevention Green Paper; and the future of the working environment.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><br \/>\nRead the full letter
