A meeting of Canvey Island Town Council took place last night (1st September) at the Paddocks, Long Road, Canvey Island, to receive and discuss an offer made by Castle Point Borough Council to transfer responsibility for the day to day management and operation of the old pool to the Town Council.Council welcomed the offer, which it has been in favour of since the future of the pool was first cast into doubt, and resolved unanimously to accept in principle, subject to the Borough providing full details of the likely costs.
An unconditional acceptance cannot be entered into until the information that the Town Council has been seeking is released, to ensure that the Town Council obtains best value for money on behalf of its community and that next year’s outgoings can be met from the existing budgets which were set last January.
Council is very aware of and grateful for the publicity and support generated by Lea and Liz Swann and Colin Letchford, all residents of Canvey.
For more information, please contact the Clerk to Canvey Island Town Council on 01268 683965 or clerk@canveyisland-tc.gov.uk
