20/09/2006 Old Swimming Pool Consultation
20th September 2006
Commenting on a public consultation over the future of the Old Swimming Pool, at Wyndham Park, Liberal Democrat District Councillor for the St Edmund & Milford Ward, Paul Sample, said:
“The strong impression given by the ruling group, up until now, has been that they want to demolish the old swimming pool and maximise the sale of the site.
"I hope that this public consultation exercise does not turn into another farce, in the same way that the consultation with local residents over the Office extension was a farce. People round here are pretty cynical about this exercise already.
"Salisbury District council has got a reputation for making its mind up and then consulting the public – rather than the other way round. I hope residents will not feel limited in giving their views, and the Council should be open-minded about a solution to the site.”
