NEW STEP TO BUILD SWIMMING POOL


FROM CASH RESERVES ‘Decision on doorstep’


Work may start this year on building swimming baths in Clitheroc, and


although they are likely to cost more than £55,000, no charge will be placed on the rates. Subject to a feasibility report now being prepared by consultants, the baths would be built at Rcefield and paid for out of balances which the council


has in hand.
