Hopes are high as Burnham
swimming pool's D-Day arrives
Campaigners
fighting to save Burnham-On-Sea's closure-threatened swimming
pool are set to hear on Tuesday (April 8th) whether new owners
have been found to take it over.
Hopes are high that a new owner has been found to take over the
facility after Sedgemoor District Council recently confirmed a
bidder is interested in taking over the pool.
An
official announcement is due to be made at a press conference
organised by Sedgemoor District Council at 12.30pm in Burnham
Community Hall.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
understands that "very good news" is set to be announced,
although the district council's Executive Committee will have
the final say on
any deal at 9.30am.
Campaigners
from Burnham's Save Our Swim (SOS) group will either break open
their champagne bottles in celebration - or drown their sorrows
in despair - according to the decision.
A
public meeting to discuss the decision will also take place at
6pm on Tuesday evening at the Princess Hall.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
will have full coverage of the pool announcement throughout Tuesday.
