The States need to find three hundred and seventy thousand pounds for the Aquasplash swimming pool by 2009.

That's what the Education, Sports and Culture Minister told a Scrutiny meeting yesterday.

The Waterfront swimming pool is managed by Cerco.

But they have a contract with our government stating that any loss over fifty thousand pounds must be covered with tax payers money.

Deputy Deidre Mez-bor-ian chaired the public hearing.

She says most commercial swimming pools make a loss. (from channel 103)

But prehaps its time that the contract was reveiwed anyone can show a loss if they want to...

Are you on the right planet? I don't know of many state run projects that ever make money, if they ran this instead of sub-contract the loss would be even bigger!

Well that makes it okay does it?

If that is what the Dep. said and thinks, she needs to stop being involved in the issue, as she hasn't got a clue.

If they knew it would be making this sort of a loss they should never have built it, if this is normal and they didn't know, they were negligent in their planning.

Most commercial pools do NOT make a loss, it's the non-commercial, publicly run pools that often make a loss.

The fact that the design and operation of the pool is so bad, should've been obvious in the planning stage, this is purely down to WEB's poor management.
