Swimming Pool for Kingsthorpe
November 12th, 2007 by richardchurchThe Borough and County Councils are working together on plans for a new swimming pool in Kingsthorpe. With school pools closed at Kingsthorpe Community College and Kingsthorpe Grove School, and no pool at the University, there is a need for swimming facilities in our area for children and adults alike.
