The council says inflation is having an impact on services
The temperature in Nottingham city pools may have been turned down to slash fuel costs but readers have responded with the advice to: "Swim a bit quicker." Responding to a story on Nottinghamshire Live's Facebook page, Robert Torrance quipped: "Swim a bit quicker, and you will get warm, simples really."
Nottingham City Council operates six leisure centres in locations such as Clifton and Bulwell, all of which have swimming pools. Councillor Mellen said: "I think fuel costs are having a varying effect, clearly when we do things like running swimming pools. We have slightly changed the temperature in the pools and we've received some people saying 'it's too cold in your pools'.
"The balance there is that we want people to use our facilities but we don't want to heat things more than we need to. Clearly there has been work in this building in changing the lighting throughout the building [Loxley House] over the last couple of years and I've been told it's saved 25% of the lighting cost."
