I really can't understand why it is in the Councils interests to be so blatantly one sided when it is going to end up potentially calling the accuracy and honesty of the whole thing into question? Well clearly they are not bothered!

Its really important that some of the information about the real potential risks and viability of the project is well advertised for those that are completing the questionnaire to see.

- The relative deliverability of the two options is not as simple as the council say in the leaflet
- The pool on Willow Way is contrary to Council Policy (for 2 reasons, the first it being an employment site and the second for moving a leisure use from within a town centre). This doesn't mean it is impossible just that they can't start straight away as they say they can "start Willow Way now" and will need to jump through a number of hoops that are not entirely in their control.
- Live/work development may be possible on the Willow Way site within existing planning policies and could be used to cross subsidise a pool on the existing pool site earlier than 2015. It may not meet all of the current funding gap but could well go quite a way towards closing it.

Gep - I am interested by your suggestion of Seven Islands in Canada Water, near it maybe when the ELL opens but as someone who used to live very near there it is a bit of a dump, was never very clean and has no children's pool...
