MHK's anger over DESC plans to shut down facility
Plans to close the Southern Swimming Pool risk creating a 'postcode lottery' for Island residents wishing to access pool facilities.
That's from an Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK who is questioning how southern commissioners are expected to set their rates.
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture's recommendation - to shut it down on financial grounds - was met with widespread outrage this week.
The DESC says it doesn't have enough money to 'maintain the status quo' - you can find more from the department HERE.
Tim Glover says the move isn't fair for those living in the south:
