Darren Sanders reports:
Angie and I are going to a council briefing tonight on
the issue. I will be late due to an emergency school
governors meeting, but will keep you posted.
However, at a 'bidder presentation session', the
notion of demolishing the current pool, even if only
to rebuild it on another part of the site, was
certainly floated.
I believed Labour's campaign at the election was
disingenuous to say the least on this as on so many
issues. Sadly, as Gordon Brown has disciovered, you
get found out if you do that.
More as and when.
