Greater Taree City Council has shown a desire to close the river pools at both Croki and Manning Point. These pools are a great community resource utilized by many people and families across the summer days. This petition will be printed and presented to council on Tuesday during the meeting which they intend to cease the funding for the pool, please show your support by signing, sharing and even coming to the meeting to voice your opinion.

I have been hearing from so many of you who spent your entire childhoods swimming in these spots and it really makes the potential loss feel so much heavier (which is exactly why I cannot let this happen). I am currently drafting a letter for the council members that details every single story I have received because they need to see that these pools are not just concrete basins but actual parts of our history.

I checked the screen and just stared at it for a minute because this momentum is actually happening and it is giving me so much hope that we can keep those pools open for everyone. It is wild to think about how many people care about Croki and Manning Point just as much as I do when honestly I was worried at the start that maybe I was the only one who felt this way.

Great areas for the summer and netting is important for the safety of the swimmers

Ridiculous idea. Keep the pools open. Where are the local kids supposed to go in the heat?
