Rejected petition Save Maryport Pool Project

Maryport in Cumbria has no public or private swimming pool in the town or immediate area. Funds have been specifically allocated under the levelling up criteria/ regeneration for the development of a swimming pool.

More details

The Council have decided not to go ahead with the pool project development due to concerns around the financial running costs and have not released the report for public scrutiny! The community deserves to be enabled to gain the opportunity to have a swimming pool developed in the town
The swimming pool based at Netherhall School foreclosed to make way for the new swimming pool project within the town. The Green policy, Sustainable Development strategies can be used to reduced running costs and revise the current business plan.
