It is a great shame so much money was spent on the Clacton leisure facilities and the budget dried up when it came to Walton’s turn.

I use the pool twice a week and we are so much the poor relation. It is a friendly pool and staff are very pleasant, but the facilities are very poor, i.e.

changing and showers/ toilets.

It is woefully inadequate for comfort and hygiene. A visit to the Clacton pool is like a culture shock in terms of the state-of-the-art clean showers and toilets, even hair dryers provided!

I pay monthly to use the facilities and can use either pool, but it is shame when I live in Frinton, a stone’s throw from Walton’s pool.

This winter the pool has seemed much colder, too, at Walton, despite the weather up to now being mild. I was just informed the temperature had been reduced a year ago and everyone was happy with it. Really?

Was anyone actually asked? I go there at least twice a week and have never been asked.
