Town swimming pool could be knocked down
and replaced with new one
A
question mark is hanging over the future of Burnham-On-Sea swimming
pool, with a review underway that could recommend it be knocked
down.
Consultants
working for Sedgemoor District Council, the owners of the 30-year-old
pool, are giving the building a check over before advising the
authority on what to do with it.
Extensive
maintenance work is needed to bring the pool and changing rooms
up to modern standards - and therefore the building could be levelled
and rebuilt at the existing site on Berrow Road or a new one be
constructed at King Alfred School as part of a bigger leisure
complex.
The
consultants are due to report back to Sedgemoor's executive board
in late October or early November and a decision is expected soon
after.
Leisure
Manager Nigel Roderick said: "It's a review to make sure
we are delivering good services for the money we use."
