I READ with interest and fond memories the letter from Eileen Tyson (Echo, January 10) regarding the Imax and the former Pier Approach Baths.

I totally agree with her; let’s have an Olympic-size pool and bring back the other facilities which were in the former baths, eg Turkish and sauna baths.

I remember the aqua shows as I worked in the evenings as an usherette at these wonderful shows. It was always the new mayor’s first engagement.

Residents need a good quality facility on this site and we could have a superb restaurant and family facilities on the roof with such wonderful views, but at the same time not blocking the view as we drive down Bath Hill.

It’s a shame that all the tenants have been asked to leave as at least we would as a town be having some income whilst the powers that be decide what facility will go there.

Bournemouth is crying out for indoor facilities so come on the council, let’s get things moving.
