Hornby Swimming Pool

Lune Valley Community Society

– Hornby Swimming Pool –

 

 

A community society is being formed to save Hornby Swimming Pool.

The purpose of this community society is to save Hornby Swimming Pool for the safety & health of all the Lune Valley communities by establishing a Charitable & Democratic Trust.

 

Background

The Pool was built 40 years ago after a massive community effort. It was built primarily to teach swimming skills to counter the hazard of the two major rivers in the valley. Now, 40 years on, our Council has decided that the pool is not financially “viable”. We still have the two hazardous rivers and still need the pool.

Lancaster City Council has decided to close the pool and it is currently in “moth balls” to give time for the asset to be transferred to the community providing a sound business case can be developed.

The campaign goes from strength to strength but there’s still long way to go.

We have submitted our bid to take the pool into community ownership but now must wait on Council deliberations -probably about 2 months.

The pool is currently closed but ‘mothballed’ and given the green light could be very quickly brought back into use.

We are promised that nothing will happen until our application has been processed and a decision reached.

We are of course chasing this but in the meantime we continue to seek share pledges to demonstrate strength of feeling and support throughout the valley.

That apart general fund arising activities continue –thank you all for your help to save this essential Lune Valley asset for all our families.

For further details- please contact ;   email lunevalleycs@gmail.com  or Telephone  01524 805666.
