A fierce debate over the proposal to build a swimming pool in Eastville Park has been re-ignited. Two petitions - one for, one against - have followed hot on the heels of one another.
The petition to build a swimming pool in Eastville Park has garnered over 2,000 signatures since being launched on June 23. But a counter petition against the pool launched five days later already has 300 names.
The plans for the pool have been in the pipeline for four years. Sarah Moore, director of Eastville Park Lido CIC said the petition was 'to actively look to build support and to get ready to start fundraising' for the proposed pool.
