Fakenham Swimming Pool

Jerome Mayhew Excerpts

Thursday 24th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Jerome Mayhew (Broadland and Fakenham) (Con)]

Fakenham needs a swimming pool. I rise to present this petition on the Fakenham swimming pool, with reference to a similar online petition that has gained more than 1,250 signatures.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of the constituency of Broadland and Fakenham,

Declares that local people in the Broadland and Fakenham constituency require access to adequate facilities to conduct regular exercise; further declares that since the closure of the swimming pool in Fakenham there has been limited facilities in the area; and notes that the Treasury has been instructed to review the £9.9 million previously committed to fund a new swimming pool.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to consider the resource needs of the new swimming pool and 3G sports pitch in Fakenham, Norfolk, whilst undertaking its funding review, and to retain the funding previously committed.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
