As a King Alfred swimming teacher of eight years, I teach many people of all ages and abilities, including schools.

Where will these children and the Shivers swimming club go while the site is redeveloped? There will be no temporary pool for five years and £500,000 compensation can't replace it.

Many trained and committed staff will lose their jobs. The new pool will be even smaller if it is rebuilt.

The money would be better spent on refurbishing the existing facilities so nobody loses their jobs.
