Aquasplash

Aquasplash Working Group - Wednesday 21 May

It is with great regret that we have learned that Tone Leisure cannot make the cost savings necessary to put forward an affordable solution for the future operation of Aquasplash.  Our previous negotiations with Somerset County Council failed for similar reasons. 

The council was willing to consider any proposal that made cost savings.  However, despite our best efforts no proposals have come forward.  A report from the Aquasplash Working Group will be prepared for council.

We have acted swiftly to secure funding for PALS (Pro-Active Lifestyles and Swimming) to assist its members to swim at the St Audries pool, and we have posted a list of the district's five swimming facilities which open to the public on our website and made the list available through our customer services team on 01643 703704.

The council has thoroughly investigated all the options put forward over the last six months.  The council would particularly like to thank the Aquasplash Working Group for its hard work and support over the last three months.

Naturally, we are very disappointed that the outcome has not been more positive.  However, looking to the future, the council will now be exploring the feasibility of providing alternative swimming facilities should the necessary finance become available.
