The Little Ducklings class has been moved from 10.30 to 12.30 when they need their dinner.

We certainly could not afford to replace it for the forseeable future. The estimated cost of demolition in in excess of half a million pounds, for nothing. If it had been maintaned as it should have been there would be no problem. It seems, we have to suffer the consequences and accept the demolition of this valuable facility and just before the 2012 Olympics when all the local people with want to swim and emulate our swimming stars. Ridiculous!

They were elected to protect the facilities that the electorate OWN, not to destroy them.

Hands off the Boston Training Pool, we love it and it must not be closed!

We have had to go to other pools which is such a shame as Boston has got good facilities for my Toddler and non-swimmer. Ducklings has changed times so its in the middle of lunch time! What was the point of doing that as you'll have hungry children on your hands

]]> Sun, 4 Oct 2009 07:36:55 UTC 6280733 miss Anonymous [Signature #503] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6278337?utm_medium=rss The last thing we need are fewer facilities. As a competitive swimmer I am finding it extremely difficult to find somewhere to train. The new government scheme giving free swimming to oaps and children has stopped many like myself from training due to overcrowding in public sessions.

Boston swimming pool is well used and in my view both pools are needed. The training pool has always been used for schools but now schools are having to use the other pool limiting the time open to general public. We pay more council tax than Spalding residents yet do not seem to get as much for our money!

Disabled people especially use swimming as an aid to recovery which is of vital importance following injury.
