Property investments made by West Lindsey District Council could result in a new Market Rasen swimming pool in three years’ time, said the authority’s leader.
The council previously turned down the idea of a swimming pool after research revealed it would not be financially viable as running costs were too high – but says the plans are ‘still on the cards’.
However, council leader councillor Jeff Summers told Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Jaines that money made from the investments would generate a revenue stream that could be put back into the district and support the running costs of a swimming pool.
Councillor Summers said he and council officers had taken a look at the plans for the dry leisure facilities.
“I think we have got to talk about getting the proposed dry facilities established and then in three years’ time we can perhaps be looking at the situation where we look at future investment in the Rasen area for a swimming pool,” he said.
“We have set plans out in such a way that a pool could be added to the dry facilities,” he added.
It is understood the authority is also close to signing off on two further purchases within the West Lindsey District area — though exact details of the deals have not been confirmed.
