51 Caroline WarmanPlease don't close this lovely pool facilities I and my family enjoy very much
52 AnonymousI feel the swimming pool is a valuable lesisure facility. Unisex changing rooms would be inappropriate for young children and females. It also has excellent disabled facilities.
53 AnonymousMy daughter is a swimmer, and uses this pool on a regular basis. Plus she has an assitent dog that is looked after
54 Danielle WattsThis pool is a necessity for me as I'm a Paralympic swimmer & have been training at Temple Cowley for 6 years. If the pool was closed I would have to travel further & my assistance dog wouldn't be looked after.

56 rachel edwards-grundyThe council needs to put users of the pool first!Over the years services have been taken(the creche facility) and this is just another example of robbing local people.

60 Rowie ChristopherCurrently I can walk to the pool, and get changed in relative privacy with other women and I prefer that. A pool in Blackbird Leys would involve me driving to a not so safe area, as cycling and leaving my bike there is out of the question, thus adding to the air carbon pollution, which I'm not happy to do.
61 Elizabeth HollandWhy close a valuable community facility when you should be improving it. I hope the council dont think they're property developers!!
62 lisa wakefieldalways busy,leave as it is,changin rooms should stay as they are
63 Gwyn JonesThe leisure centre is within close walking distance and keeps me active. Please keep it and upgrade it

66 Helen ButterfieldI cannot believe that the council are considering closing Temple Cowley pool. It is such a vital place for so many. Why does everything have to be in Blackbird Leys! Please do not close this pool.
67 Nigel CardaleHi I live in Derwentside Co Durham where we have a similar situation to yours. The council want to close the existing pool, sell the land & provide a smaller pool with less amenities on another site. We have recently formed an action group and would welcome the opportunity to "compare notes" or get advice etc. Can you give me a contact name & email or phone no. or email. Hoping to hear from you Nigel Cardale

69 Mhairi-Clare BradleyI swam as a child in the temple cowley pools, I was part of the youth teams, the pools are important to keep kids fit and healthy
70 AnonymousI recently found out there is this Swimming pool available to the public, and my family is looking forward to going for a lovely swim sometime soon. I think as a soon tobe new comer of temple cowley swimming pool, some people may have issues with the opposite sex may find it disturbing having to share the same room for a changing faciuities let alone not knowing Whom is in the next Cubicles

76 John StoneI learned to swim at Temple Cowley Pool 60 years ago. It was a wonderful resource which served the community over a wide catchment area. A pool at Blackbird Leys would serv a much smaller catchment area. The pool and the library at Temple Cowley had a certain synergy in terms of use. I plan to swim there again this summer when I visit friends in Headington. Homes are important, but so too are local amenities for people of all ages, but especially the young. Good luck with your campaign.

81 AnonymousPlease don't shut this lovely pool, I have been using it now for 60years +.
82 Anonymousall facilities and money to BBL as usual then - suppose it might help to fill all those empty buses going to BBL.
83 AnonymousIt is in a central loacation to a underprivlaiged area. Without this pool kids may go out on the streets and become anti-social rebels, rather then have a recreational activity at this pool facility. SAVE IT basically
84 David Parkerleave Cowley pool as it is as we all like it to be if Blackbirdleys needs a pool build them one however, not at the cost the Cowley pool.

89 Anonymousthe only place that my children can travel on there own is to the swimming pool it would be sad if this happens for alot of kids & this pool keeps them out of trouble
90 Anonymouslocal schools will be deprived as will local people whilst the Director of public health indicates obesity and health inequalities as a major health priority in his 2008/2009 report

92 Tamasin WentI go to Temple Cowley pool every week with my daughter - the facilities are really family friendly
93 Craig SimmonsLabour conveniently announced this closure just after the local elections where they won by a narrow 12 vote margin. Coincidence?
94 Cllr Elise Benjamin
95 Andy CotgreaveTHe location of Templey Cowley is too good to let go. Move it to Blackbird Leys and you will find many more people driving to the pool.
