SIR, At the full Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) meeting on Thursday 31st July,  Labour and Independent councillors put up an amendment to say that the replacement Monmouth swimming pool should be built at the same time as the new school. But this was rejected on the grounds that the council had not identified where the money was to come from. Do families with children, swimmers who swim as part of a fitness regime, the elderly and disabled swimmers realise that our Conservative and Liberal councillors have voted to demolish the Monmouth swimming pool without checking to see whether or not there is funding available to build a new pool? Please sign our online petition for a replacement pool on http://www.monmouth">www.monmouth swimmers.com Jenny Robbins (Monmouth Swimmers)
