Anger mounts at council plan to shut swimming pool
Express and Echo
|April 24, 2025
PROTESTS against the closure of an Exeter swimming pool are gathering pace.
Around 50 campaigners met at the Isca Centre to make their point, as Exeter City Council held the last of its public consultations on its future.
The Labour-led council announced in February that it wanted to close the pool to save money, blaming low usage and revenue.
However, the Save Northbrook Pool campaign says the pool is open for public swimming for only one third of the time of other pools in Exeter, and it has required considerably less subsidy from the council than both of these.
