Decision on Burnham-On-Sea
pool's future delayed further
A
decision about the future of Burnham-On-Sea's closure-threatened
swimming pool has been further delayed and will not now be made
until April 8th, it was announced on Friday (March 28th).
Sedgemoor
District Council spokeswoman Claire Faun told Burnham-On-Sea.com:
"Due to the highly complicated nature of the legal processes
that have to be followed by public authorities, the meeting scheduled
for 2nd April to discuss the future of the leasing of Burnham
pool will be further deferred until 8th April."
"A
meeting of the Executive committee will hear an exempt report
at 9.30am on Tuesday 8th April in the Charter Hall in Bridgwater."
She
added that due to this delay, there will be nothing further to
report to the community meeting scheduled for April 3rd at Burnham
Community Centre.
Therefore,
the meeting will now take place at 6pm on Tuesday, April 8th at
the Princess Hall in Burnham-on-Sea instead.
It
was first reported by Burnham-On-Sea.com three
weeks ago that five bidders were in the frame to take over
the lease of the Berrow Road pool.
