From G. Walsh:-

WHO needs a £150 million Ocean Dome?

The view that "Local people have been crying out for some form of all year round baths" is not the opinion of my New Brighton friends and neighbours.

The consensus seems to be that all year round pools at the Guinea Gap, Egremont, Leasowe Leisure Centre, Bebington Oval, Europa Pools Birkenhead and the Woodchurch Leisure Centre are surely sufficient for local needs, and that the £150m Ocean Dome is obviously the dream of those who wish to turn New Brighton into a national or international tourist centre.

Perhaps the local Community should be more widely consulted by its representatives.
