We recommend the following

  • Reject St. Albans District Council's planning application now as unfit for purpose - inadequate Main Pool size and a safety and operational nightmare for customers and site operator alike!   We recommend the SADC team go back to the drawing board and do the planning professionally.
  • St. Albans District Council should recruit a professional of chief engineer calibre to do the in-house planning and supervision of such a major project. The public should be provided with a Main Pool able to meet up to 40 years’ demand and population growth.
  • Westminster Lodge users believe a 25 metre by 10 lane pool (177 places) or a configurable 50 metre pool would be far better choices than the current ‘dead in the water already’ 25 metre by 8 lane proposal.

We owe a proper facility to future generations- to our children, our grandchildren and theirs yet to be born.
