Swimming pool - sink or swim?

Dear Editor:

We have heard a lot about  a proposed pool in Mount Forest for years but I have still not seen an argument that would make it viable to everyone in Wellington North.

A project this size will only benefit the few, not the many, and asking over $5 million from people that will not only never visit the pool but will for sure never swim in, it is a huge ask.

Taxes and interest are at the highest level in decades and council is looking to put this on the back of taxpayers as a whole.

Has anyone explored support from industry or a public donation for this project?

I think times have changed and so should the way council looks at taxpayers’ money.
