£18m Worthing pool unveiled (From The Argus)

When will the reporting get past the Council propaganda?...It's not a 'competition pool', as it doesn't have enough lanes!...And far better pools have been built by other councils (or council tax payers!) around the country for far less money...another white elephant to be built with money we don't have!

With you on that one! It is over engineered and going to have to be subsidised (NB Argus Please note.. no wonder your reports are littered with such atrocious spelling errors your own spell checker is an Automated version of Anna/Naomi) forever.

Why does everyone moan when the council tries to build something that might well improve the area. Im sure they would have been more than happy selling off to a property tycoon who could build some flats. You would still be moaning if it only cost £18 to build, so the price is irrelevant really. The general public are so miserable sometimes.

Ignorance is bliss isn't it...I suggest you look into the real cost of the project, and what will happen to the existing site regarding 'development'...and then ask yourself why we will be left with a pool that is less that what we already have!

Got to be an improvement on the existing Aquarena which is a shabby, run-down eyesore that passed its sell-by date at least 15 years ago!

AMAZING! I am sure this will lead to improved cleanliness and reduced Body odour smells from the residents of Worthing. I would leave it a month if you are from out of town for the Chlorine levels to drop a little. Initially it will have to be at the level of a public sewer.

How did your GCSEs go this year? I expect mummy will be very proud when you get your results. Of course if you are an adult, then maybe an ounce of maturity once in a while wouldn't go amiss? You'll find Maturity under M in the dictionary if you are confused by a word of more than four letters.

Anyway -- not sure how this is in any instance "revealed", these pictures have been in the public domain now for at least over a year?

Either way this is a much needed improvement and nice to see something that is of a high quality even if it isn't pleasing absolutely everyone's needs.

Of course it will not cost us taxpayers £18 million, as the council sold the land at marine crescent by the yacht club for a significant number of millions of pounds to a developer..and even saved on not replacing the public toilet facilities there. It is a good development for Worthing and we all look forward to seeing the exact figures it cost to build and how we paid for it on completion...

What a vulgar, nitpicking and insulting individual you are.... So typical of your... Townships citizens... I happened to find his point succinct and very salient. I am only too aware of the affects of too much Chlorine in a Pool, used to counteract the Bacteria a and Urine which will come from the bodies of the Worthingites initially. You only have to look through the window of your MacDonalds to see the truth in his words.
