DOES anyone know what is happening or not happening with regards to the new pool in Loughton? It was supposed to open in the summer, but evidently is still not operational.
The whole thing was totally unnecessary, as all the attractive 1960s pool needed was an upgrade. In my view the whole thing is a complete waste of money, presumably justified because some of the cost was funded out of the lottery.
I presume we will now have the standard 25 metre pool with leisure activities, and the pool's days as a place to have a decent swim are finished. A 33.3 metre pool is now becoming impossible to find. This is not progress.
