Because we're the only area in Plymouth that does not have a swimming pool and we have to travel miles to get to one the other side of the city of Plymouth to get to a swimming pool

we have been asking the council over many years for a swimming pool in plymstock  without success. council always comes up with some excuse.. sherford is not in plymstock so why suggest a pool should be located there  when they have not contributed anything towards the cost..nothing seems to get done in plymstock by the council.. yet plympton seems much better better at get antthing done...

Swimming is good for you whatever your age. Plymstock community is large, but has to cross the Laira bridge to go into town to get to the Life Pool, and also difficult to get to Plympton now Sherford community being built. We deserve our own pool!

A swimming pool in this area would be a great asset and help the local community.

The swimming pool should be near the Plymstock Broadway

Plymstock badly needs a swimming pool, the old Downham School site would be an ideal location for all .

My Wife and I live in Elburton which joins on to Plymstock,
If a Swimming Pool were to be built in Plymstock then we would definitely Support it.
This Petition needs all the support it can get.

We residents have waited for too long for a swimming pool in this area and having one built in the new Sherford development is not in the Plymstock area but the South Hams. The council seem to think this development is the answer to everything but they should be helping to acquire a site in PLYMSTOCK and to listen to the people who have voted for them.

We have been waiting for a very long time for a local swimming pool. We either have to travel to Plympton or to the Life Centre and as we are not getting any younger this would be a great advantage to us and many other elderly people who would like to have use of this facility. It would also keep us all a lot healthier and keep us out of hospital. I would have thought with the new Sherfrd Development being built with a substantial increase of the population in Plymstock it is vital that everyone can have the benefit and enjoyment of a local swimming pool.

tHIS HAS BEEN NEEDED IN THIS AREA SINCE I MOVED HERE 15 YEARS AGO. NEAR THE COMMUNITY CENTRE WOULD BE VERY CENTRAL.

I have lived in Plymstock for almost 40 years with the promise of a swimming pool for the greater majority of those years. I would love to see and enjoy, like a great number of other people, the benefits of having a swimming pool on our doorstep before I shuffle my mortal coil. Although knowing PCC's preference for Plympton over Plymstock, my coil will no longer be mortal and would have been shuffled a long time before a pool materialises in Plymstock.

Perhaps we should also blame the apathy of the greater majority of Plymstock residents who would use the pool but cannot be bothered to rouse themselves to sign a petition to let PCC know how frustrated many of us are with PCC.

As to where the pool should be sited then the only logical place that has any sort of space is up near "The Staddy" or, if at a push, use some of the land on Breakwater Road, which has a dedicated road and other infrastructure already in place and not being used.

Should be built at Horn Lane at Rear of Broadway Car Park, do not develop this space with houses.

I feel that it is important to the community that a pool is built, this has been on going for far too long and we in plymstock are left out with community facilities. Ideally to be built on the site of the old downham school

 Unfortunately the council passed a planning application for flats and Houses on the Downham School site.

The Downhorn Park site that was tried for before is still available.

i think it is unfair for the plymstock people to have to go to sherford when for years theyraised money to have one on downham school site.
