Therapy Pool at Sturminster Newton

The Tories at DCC want to close the Therapy Pool at Sturminster Newton to save money. This pool is a valuable resource used by people with mobility problems and at least two Special Schools. Vigorous protest has enabled us to broker a deal whereby if the Community can run it, at no cost to the County Council, then it can remain open. However there is a very tight deadline, May 2008. It will take longer than that to put in place a Business Plan, proper funding, perhaps apply for Lottery funding and so on. We LibDems could not gain an extension on this deadline.
