Four years later, thanks to your support, it a great example of what people power can achieve. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only is it still there, but with the support of the College, it is being run by community groups for the benefit of the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>

We have committed to paying the pool’s £60,000 a year energy bill* and although this will eventually be covered from pool hire charges it will take a while to get pool usage up to the point that we can cover our costs. In the interim can you help us to cover our £5,000 monthly bill!</span></span></span></span></p>
