Save Temple Cowley Swimming Pool!

Oxford City Council is planning to close Temple Cowley Swimming Pool, Gym and sauna suite, the only facility in the Oxford area with capacity for holding swimming galas.

This petition is sponsored by an ever-increasing group of residents who object to the proposed changes to their local swimming pool.

Oxford City Council is planning to close Temple Cowley Swimming Pool. This is part of a strategic review of leisure facilities. At the moment they are reviewing the cost of refurbishment against building a completely new pool in Blackbird Leys, well away from the current catchment area.

It is likely that they will set the refurbishment costs higher than the rebuild costs; this is because by closing the pool they would be able to sell the land for more housing and provide access to a currently vacant green field site behind the pool. The council's idea of refurbishment is to take out the single sex changing areas and replace them with a "village" style, with a collection of unisex cubicles. We have already got some unisex cubicles in the family changing area
The showers would be all unisex.

The current users of the pool want to keep the pool at Temple Cowley and leave the changing facilities as they are at the moment giving us a choice of single or unisex (family) facilities.
