Our spa town needs its Lido
Published Date:

Madam,
I really hope that Matlock Water Polo Club won't have to fold due to the closure of the Lido pool, as conjectured in last week's Mercury – their match reports are one of the best things in the paper!
Seriously though, how can DDDC contemplate not stumping up the cash to reopen the pool?
Matlock is a former spa town, the district council are based here, and the Olympics are coming to London in 2012 – how can DDDC possibly allow Matlock not to have a decent swimming pool? We need the Lido.
I have been teaching my kids to swim there, and if we were faced with the expense and extra time taken to travel elsewhere – well, it just won't happen.
Please DDDC, don't deny us, other swimmers and the regular clubs the chance to stay fit and have fun in our own town.
