One of West Lothian’s oldest swimming clubs has branded the threat to close three local pools as “devastating news”, warning that young lives will be put at risk.
Trojan ASC, which has more than 100 members, has lobbied local councillors as well as a Scottish Government minister in a bid to release funding to save the pools from closure.
The club has echoed a plea from the Labour administration calling on the Scottish Government to release extra funding Holyrood was awarded specifically to keep swimming pools open save pools from closure after a similar action by Westminster to help English councils.
