Let’s have a pool near the people

After Arun District Council’s cabinet meeting the other night, I was astounded by councillor Dr James Walsh’s negativity to a new pool on a site nearer to over 100,000 more people than the current site, stuck out by the sea and away from where most people in Littlehampton actually live.

He simply sees the May, 2015, elections coming and is thinking of his (probably) older voters who live by the sea in his political area.

He is a district councillor who represents the district, including younger people like me (19) who, in ten or 20 years’ time want a pool to swim in, not a dilapidated one, if we have one left at all, should Dr Walsh get his way.

As a county councillor, too – one of his three hats – he should be doing all he can to try to get the new pool built either on the Cornfield site (owned by the county) or the Daisyfield site (owned by Arun), and not simply creating obstacles.
