Support Eric Ollerenshaw’s campaign.
I am delighted the Conservative administration at Lancashire County Council recognises and appreciates the financial pressures facing Lancaster City Council, and that they are confident that they can work with us to ensure that the pools in Carnforth, Heysham and Hornby remain open for community use.
The first task is for the meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 8th February to agree to recommend Cabinet to reverse its decision – and the second task is to persuade Cabinet members on 16th February to accept that their decision to stop running the pools should be reversed.
Both meetings are public meetings.
The call-in of the Cabinet decision to be heard at the meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 8 February is led by members of the Conservative Group.

Support Eric Ollerenshaw’s campaign to stop Lancaster City Council cutting its funding to our rural swimming pools
Lancaster’s Lib Dem-led cabinet voted on the 19th January to cease funding to Hornby, Carnforth and Heysham community pools, which the City Council has been managing for the past ten years.
Conservatives on the Cabinet wanted negotiation to take place with the County Council, before the City Council ‘burned its boats’ by ending the management agreement.
Conservatives also asked that Parish Councils – as representatives of the communities affected – be invited to send observers to negotiations between City and County Councils.
These proposals were rejected by the other eight members of theCabinet, and the two Conservatives were the only ones to vote against the decision to end the agreement in March 2011.
