Rejected petition Secure the future of Pembroke Pool "Improve don't Remove"

Pembroke Pool, has served generations through children's parties, lifesaving lessons and diverse activities including swimming, aquafit, kayaking, and scuba diving. Adjacent to two schools with ample parking, it remains popular despite aging facilities. However, PCC now threatens closure or Council tax increases, creating uncertainty for staff and the community who rely on this social hub.

More details

Suzie Clayton - I swim several morning a week at the pool. It's had an amazing positive benefit on my physical & mental wellbeing. The convenience of being able to swim at 6am is so important to me. If the pool closed, it would be difficult to get to Tenby or Haverfordwest for 6am.
I cannot believe PCC are even considering closing it

Sue Griffiths - It seems criminal to deny children or anyone that cannot swim, the right to learn.
We live surrounded by the sea, not to mention rivers and quarries.
Then there is the matter of the sport of swimming. Where are people to go?
Please don't take this pool away from the Community.

Kelly Willis Thompson (Forever 11 charity) - after losing my nephew this would be a tragedy for hundreds of children please we need to fight to keep our pool

Dan JT - Pembroke Pool has been home to Pembroke & District Swimming Club for 50 years of teaching, coaching & uniting people. Without the Pool, the history of our club wouldn't have been possible!
