Thursday, 9am - Swimmers are fed up with the Grantham Meres Leisure Centre, claiming the swimming timetable is unreasonable and the facilities dirty.
Marge Roberts, of Range Road, and Brian Elrick, of Alexandra Road, have started a petition because they feel the public's swimming time during the school term has been dwindled down to make way for swim clubs.

They feel children are missing out, with few opportunities for them to use the pool during the week after school.

Brian, who uses the pool three times a week, said: "We have found that the swimming clubs are having more time than we are.

"I would like a bit more consideration for adult swimming and general swimming."

Dirty nappys in the changing room are a common sight, according to Marge, and she has also witnessed excrement on the floor.

She said: "My daughter got out of the pool and went into the changing room at about 6.30 one evening, and found poo on the floor."

South Kesteven District Council asset and facilities manager Paul Stokes said: "Apart from Mrs Roberts, we have only received one other complaint about timetabling.

"We are working with our contractor Leisure Connection to maintain and improve service to the public."
