I attended the Fylde Borough Council Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, 6 May, because I was giving a report to the Cabinet on the work of the Community Outlook Scrutiny Committee. We had just completed a review of hospital acquired infections; and as you know, I am chairing a review of disabled access in Fylde. At that meeting, I was thrilled to hear the Cabinet vote to re-open St. Annes Swimming Baths. It came as an amendment to an agenda item on capitalization. Seeing the baths re-open is something I've longed to see. It is such good news for everyone. I want to express my thanks to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes to make this good news possible. As you can see from the picture, I was lucky enough to get to share our good news with Jeremy Hunt, MP, who is the Shadow Secretary for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Before our trip to the pool, we had visited Heyhouses School and spent the morning seeing all the wonderful programmes they have which encourage fitness through sport, and also the programmes which encourage a love of the arts among the students.
