Dunfermline and West Fife Liberal Democrats are pleased that funding has been set aside which can be considered for new swimming facilities in the Weat Fife area.

After the meeting, Councillor James Calder commented,

In recent months local councillors have repeatedly made the case for new swimming facilities in West Fife. With the loss of the Woodmill facility and the threat of loss of the Inverkeithing pool, alongside problems at the Carnegie Leisure Centre, the situation is becoming critical.

I am pleased that after I made the case along with Liberal Democrat colleagues for the need for funding to be set aside that the Administration agreed. Hopefully we can see plans developed in the near future.

Councillor Aude Boubaker-Calder added,

I have been making the case for swimming to be part of the school curriculum the last few months, and I am pleased that funding is there which can hopefully help to ensure we have the capacity locally that we need.
