Portsmouth City Council needs to look at itself. It needs to make the real tough decisions, not the 'pick the low fruit' that affects kids development for the whole of their lives.

The Pool is, and should remain, an essential amenity. It would be a disgrace to fill it in and concrete it over.

As a member of Portsmouth north sea swimming club, I, as my sisters did, swam here for numerous years. Too many school pools are being shut and while I understand the need for space there needs to be alternative ways to achieve this

I found my love of swimming through a club at this pool.

This swimming pool is an important facility in Drayton used by many other schools and adults and should be retained.

The swimming pool is a valuable all-age year-round resource in this area and should be kept and not sacrificed for expansion of the school.

I am a past student of springfield school and feel the pool added something different to the teaching. Offers the students so many more opportunities other schools in the area did not have!

Please reconsider shutting the pool I was a pupil there in the 70-80s and it was a great asset to the school and helped me to swim as it will help countless other children in the future
