There's a rumour that the Council wants to close the Vista pool in the winter. Does anyone know more about this?

PDC vision?
The Audit Commission's performance review of pdc says they have a
mission statement but absolutely no plans for how they will achieve it or
priorities for the order of doing things. That was 6 months ago. This total lack of vision came over very strongly all the time Swanage Ahead was active. It is ironic that the town partnership has been told to do yet another visioning exercise when our politicians have none. Where is pdc's vision for the future and if they do not have one why don't they have one?
For 60 years, ever since the beach was cleared of debris after the war I have taken great pleasure in being able to walk along the beach.
When my children were small we were disconcerted to discover that the new groynes to the north of Ocean Bay were a barrier over which we had to scramble if we were agile enough.
Last year there was such delight when those groynes were breached to enable a survey and we surged through and made it to the foot of the chalk cliffs. We couldn’t believe it when those gaps were plugged.
THEN IMAGINE OUR JOY THIS WINTER!
The fascination of watching the surge of sand upon the beach and the pas des deux of the bulldozers.
The piles being driven into the sand.
We watched with baited breath to see what kind of groynes we were going to have.
Then joy of joys we realised that they were not going to tower over us, nor divide the beach like some Berlin wall.
We could skip and jump along the water, unimpeded.
We could sally forth towards the cliffs without obstruction.
Imagine my despair this month as those groynes have been girdled and braced.
The effort required to cross these monstrous hurdles is quite beyond me.
The simple pleasure of a walk along the beach has disappeared forever for the vast majority of Swanage residents who are too old or too young.
Is this latest addition to the groynes really necessary?
