Olympic Legacy for Coventry & Warwickshire

[Lex]

It's a shame that Coventry will be losing its 50 meter pool, but at least there's one in Northampton and there's plans for more in the region...

6,000 people have signed a petition to save the pool: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-27957448

Once again the idiots on the local council are spending money without thinking things through. They've just spent plenty on a new centre at AT7, jobs are being lost, we simply cannot afford these things. Just as we couldn't afford Muttons patio!

I've said it before, if ars*hol*s could fly! Coventry council house would be an airport.

The pool's definitely closing. Those who wat access to a 50m pool will have to wait until sometime in 2016 for another one to open in Brum, or travel to Northampton.

I repeat my previous comment about ars*hol*s and being an airport! - Well done CCC you have proven just how inept and out of touch you really are!

Coventry could be getting a new 50m pool!

I hope so.

I wonder what will happen to the old facility? as far as I know, it's listed, though the elephant to the side isn't.
