Public meeting to discuss future of Eastbourne pool

Friends of Motcombe Pool will be outside the pool from 10am-1pm on Saturday (April 2).

The site has failed to reopen since it was closed due to covid restrictions in 2020.

A spokesperson for the group said, “The purpose of the day is to share your views, find out how you can contribute to the future of the pool and meet other Friends of Motcombe Pool.

“Encourage your friends and neighbours to drop by too. We look forward to seeing you there.”

As well as this, Eastbourne Borough Council will be holding a Motcombe Pool open day on April 28.

Deputy mayor Helen Burton said, “We won’t be able to access the main pool area due to health and safety reasons, but please do come down and find out more about what happens next.

“You’ll be able to see some of the history of the pool; see some of the challenges we need to overcome; find out about the journey of Saltdean Lido over the last few years; and find out about how you can get involved in restoring this much loved community asset for future generations.

“If you’re interested in finding out more, visit our website at www.motcombepool.org and sign up for further details.
