Community pools - joint statement
Lancashire County Council and Lancaster City Council are working together to find a way to ensure that the community swimming pools at Carnforth, Heysham and Hornby remain open for the benefit of local residents.
We are looking at how we can share services or work on joint initiatives to save money for the city council and ease pressures on its finances and this should release sufficient resources to keep the pools open.
The city council has given the county council 12 months' notice of its current intention to withdraw from managing the pools. This will give both councils the opportunity to explore all options and bring a report back to councillors in the next few months.
Councillors Stuart Langhorn, Leader of Lancaster City Council and Councillor Geoff Driver, Leader of Lancashire County Council
