SIR – Re: the proposed new swimming pool at Perdiswell.

I was surprised to note that councillors have agreed to a huge expenditure of money to provide a swimming pool at Perdiswell when there is a perfectly good one at Sansome Walk.

I appreciate that the existing pool is in need of refurbishment but this could be achieved at a fraction of the cost of providing a new pool.

The refurbishment cost could be defrayed by selling off underused land between Sansome Walk and the pool, enabling the houses demolished many years ago to be replaced.

Readers may be surprised at the large amount of underused subterranean rooms at the pool which could easily be reinstated into a health spa and treatment rooms.
