Sir - I decided to take myself to the swimming baths on Monday 10 th March, The question I would like to ask the City council. Is the swimming pool being deliberately rundown? When I got to the reception I asked if the sauna and steam room was available, to be told no it's not working at the moment, I got into the Pool and noticed the diving boards were boarded off, they have been like this for a long time, unusable. I lay back in the water and looking up at the roof to see how rusty everything was, look out of the window to see the holes made by somebody shooting at them, cracks in the glass, the clock on the wall not working, replaced by a much smaller clock at the other end. When I swam to the deep end I noticed that the white tiles you hold onto were quite grey, on investigation I scraped grease off, and so I don't think much maintenance has been done for a long time. So, when are we having the new Pool?
