Our local swimming pools have been failed by East Devon District Council. They had a golden opportunity to secure financial support for our local swimming pools.
Instead, the political leadership sat on their hands and failed to even apply for the government funding on offer. Every other council in Devon did, securing over £1.4 million to support pools in their local areas.
Public swimming pools including LED pools in Sidmouth, Exmouth and Honiton, and charity-run pools such as the Flamingo Pool in Axminster have been badly let down.
