People in Arundel go to the polls tomorrow to decide the fate of their open-air swimming pool.

Residents will decide whether taxpayers' money should be used to reopen the pool which closed three years ago needing thousands of pounds of repair work.

Five questions will be posed.

They include whether Arundel town and Arun district councils should work in active partnership with the Arundel and Downland Community Leisure Trust to reopen the pool with both councils pledging financial support.

The trust took over responsibility for the site in Fitzalan Road in May last year from Arun District Council and set the target of raising £1.75 million to extend facilities.

Trustee David Wood urged as many people as possible to vote.

He said: "It is up to you - if you want Arundel Open Air Pool to reopen please vote yes tomorrow."

Pupils at four local schools too young to vote were today taking part in their own mock polls.

Ballot boxes and voting slips have been sent to Arundel CE Primary School, Amberley CE First School, Walberton and Binsted CE Primary and Westergate Community School.
