Portobello Pool Survey

Wouldn’t it be fabulous if we could enjoy a warmer pool at Portobello. If children could participate in local swimming lessons. If senior members of the community could relax and enjoy the water.

We want to find out what level of community support there is for improving the heating of the pool. If there is strong community support for the project, we will do some costings on installing and maintaining a better heating system and some showers.

So we need to know what people in Portobello and surrounding areas (Broad Bay, Harwood, etc) think about the idea.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey by Friday 23 November.

Please complete a single survey for your whole household.
