I WOULD like to make a last minute plea for a public baths, sauna and steam room complex at the recently demolished site, midway between Boscombe shops and Pokesdown station, with.

As with Boscombe library and the Tesco Express at Pokesdown the proposed flats would be sited over the facility and.

Lying directly on the main bus route from Christchurch to Poole and with the rail station making the baths readily accessible to new forest residents.

Perhaps a new design of pool would include a ramp for the disabled.

I’m sure the many retirement homes and schools in the area would appreciate such a local facility not to mention our invigorated football team who might appreciate the pool for winter training.
