Lonsdale Swimming Pool is seeing its energy costs increase from £34,000 to £104,000 a year
Lonsdale Swimming Pool, in Mickleover, Derbyshire, is seeing its energy costs increase from £34,000 to £104,000 a year.A national charity says more support is needed for community pools. It hosts up to 70,000 visits every year including school lessons, family sessions and mother and baby groups.Mr Cotter said it was now being severely affected by the cost of living crisis."We got reserves we could be using, but I'd rather use those reserves to pay for improvements to the building rather than spending it on the gas."
Claire Marshall, a teacher at Griffe Field Primary School, said although swimming was part of the national curriculum it was also an important life skill.
