We were in touch last year about our efforts to bring a 25-metre, indoor, public swimming pool to Minehead, for the benefit of all in West Somerset. Thanks to all who helped spread the word in your communities, we’ve seen a lot of community support.

Over recent months we’ve gathered momentum, including getting a grant to do our business planning, joining forces with another local health and wellbeing group, having Minehead Town Council designate land at their Recreation Ground for a pool, and being invited by Sport England to put in a bid for a large grant this summer. You can read more about the project on our website: www.mineheadswim.org

It’s now time for us to consult with the public about what they would want in a new swimming pool, as well as a new gym for the GP exercise referral NHS scheme. To that end we’ve launched a questionnaire that members of the public can fill in, and the results will inform our more detailed, operational planning.

Timberscombe parishioners can access the questionnaire online by clicking on this link:
