The Pool will be a great community facility and we look forward to the build commencing in the coming weeks ready for opening in Spring 2013.' Sedgemoor District Council showcased the pool designs in a public consultation earlier this year and meet regularly with its Pool Task and Finish Consultative group to discuss all aspects of the new facility. Some of these members were also recently involved in helping to choose the name of the new facility. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
