The council is planning on closing Arthur Hill swimming pool this year (December 2016). Reading Council don’t close Arthur Hill swimming pool until a replacement has been built.

As the council report says the expensive repairs do not necessarily have to be done in the short term (http://www.reading.gov.uk/media/5982/item09A/pdf/item09A.pdf

We are concerned that if Arthur Hill is closed before a replacement has been built at Palmer Park we might not ever get a new swimming pool in east Reading.

Swimming is good for our health and children living near the River Thames and River Kennet need to learn to swim.

Save swimming in east Reading and keep Arthur Hill swimming pool open until a replacement has been built.
