It’s great news that, at long last, plans are afoot to do something about the derelict swimming pool at the end of the promenade here in Grange. After a local survey, the majority of residents are in favour of restoring the town’s historic lido. The cost of restoration is estimated at an eye watering £5m which will hopefully come through an application to the heritage Lottery Fund.

Further details can be seen at a public exhibition on October 7-10 at the Victoria Hall in Grange.
