Mari Jones of the Daily Post doesn't explain why?

The swimming pool has eight lanes.

Historically, the primary schools have always used the two lanes on the far side.

The remaining six lanes have always been available to the general public.

To date, there has not been any information on how many extra lanes will be used by school children from Monday, 25 September.

Nor is there any evidence to confirm that both mornings and afternoons have already been considered to minimise disruption.

Btw, I have just returned from the gym there and the swimming pool is closed today as a result of an electrical fault.

You've saved me the trouble of setting off down Bri.

Plenty of Weekend Swimming galas coming up as well so those dates are also unavailable.

The Pool was closed yesterday due to an electrical fault. Is the place ever open these days?

The row continues unabated.  It's pretty well indefensible, the approach they're taking. And, since the Pool is a council facility, council tax payers have an access right which, I would suspect, could be challenged in court. Certainly someone needs to take them on over this. It seems they largely do whatever they want with little or no accountability.

For me, apart from the chronic lack of access to the pool already, there are two further issues.

1, The inference that any adult customers are a potential threat to children.

2, Creating this unnatural environment makes children grow up believing that adults are to be avoided, and segregation is a correct way to exist.

It would be intriguing to know the name of the person who has advised them that this is the correct approach.  I'll be very surprised it it's a social worker or anyone who really knows what they're talking about.

The revised timetable commenced this morning.

I have just returned from the gym and noticed the changing rooms are also closed to the general public this morning, which is likely to upset those who normally like to shower after using the gym.

Where do people get changed in the first place to go to the gym if there are no changing rooms?

This is more than ridiculous now, you can't run a gym without changing facilities.

I've tackled it with CCBC head of service directly today.
It's a shocking piece of mismanagement, and they are on dodgy ground in many respects.

Fester, there is also an updated schedule up on the noticeboard in the gym for all the exercise referral classes held in there during the mornings Monday - Friday.

There must be at least a dozen one hour sessions.

It seems that both the swimming pool and the gym are fast becoming no go areas in the mornings midweek for the general public.

It would seem that the people whose taxes pay for the facility are not wanted in it!  &shake&

Just returned from the gym and noticed a new notice on the exit door.
