Swimming Pool for Kingsthorpe

The 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.

There is a way to go yet in identifying the funding and the site, but the Focus Team strongly support plans for a swimming pool in our area. The County Council have decided to undertake a feasibility study to look into the options.

Kingsthorpe Grove school ‘robbed by Tory Council’

County Tories are raiding the coffers of Kingsthorpe Grove Primary School. £15,060 is being raided from the schools reserves, money that could be used to replace rotting roof timbers and window frames on this grade 2 listed building. For more information see the Northampton Lib Dem website
