Last summer, families like mine with hot, bored kids were left looking at a hole in the ground where our much-loved 50m pool used to be. We were told it had to be closed and dug up then so that a new one could be completed and open in time for start of the 2015/16 swimming season. Well, here we are, and I don't think anyone is going to be swimming in the new one any time soon...
So why hasn't the Shire come out and informed the public that the pool will not be ready for start of the swimming season? Why isn't the Shire telling us when it will be ready? (Maybe they don't know.)
If they have bungled this project to the extent that the community will be without this important facility for the best part of two summers, why won't they own up, tell us what went wrong and be honest about it?
Again, I remind the Shire's senior staff and councillors of the core values listed on the Council website, which include the following;
- Sensitivity to the impact of our decisions
- Honesty and Integrity
- Openness and accountability
- Effective communication
