A valuble resource for the people of Plymouth
OK, hands up anyone who believed a single word said by Peter Smith and the rest of the Labour Councillors on the subject of the Life Centre. Probably not many of the people who read the pages on this website. So, Plymouth has now shut a viable pool at Seaton whilst hopelessly trying to get the money for a Life Centre. Yes, the Life Centre would have been wonderful but Seaton Pool could have been kept open until the Life Centre was available (or as it now seems the Life Centre never arrives). Now we are left with nothing (unless we re-open Seaton Pool instead of knocking it down). When will Plympton Pool need to go out of service for repairs? Where will the ongoing decay and degradation at Central Park Pool stop? With thanks to the Evening Herald we re-produce the story and editorial below.
Hopefully, those who believed even a little bit of their big ideas on the Life Centre will think twice next time. Do not shut one pool until the new one is available.
