improvement scheme to regulate air temperatures, members o f the public were still complaining about conditions at the


pool, said Coun. John McGowan (Clitheroe) at a meeting of the full c-uuncil. “ The temperature is


absolutely unbelievable — you could grow tomatoes and grapes there," he said. "1 hope th.e matter is sorted out as soon as possible.”


Coun. Stephen Holt


(Clitheroe) said that the new air handling unit was not working as efficiently


as it should. While watch- in g th e s w im m in g recently, he had found the conditions like an intensive


sauna. He added: “ I was there for 30 minutes. I f I had sat


there much longer 1 would have needed tne first-aid box.” The chairman o f the


Direct Services Commit­ tee, Coun. Stephen Sut­ cliffe (Clitheroe), said that he had experienced warm temperatures, but condi­ tions had not been unbear­ able. Progress was being made to solve the prob­ lems. However, he agreed that the matter needed urgent attention.
