Nottingham City Council's leader incorrectly stated swimming pool temperatures had been lowered
The leader of Nottingham City Council incorrectly said swimming pool temperatures had been lowered at the authority's leisure facilities.He said pools had been made cooler in response to rising fuel costs and that some users had complained.Image caption,Mr Mellen told the meeting: "I think there is a huge element of the budget which is inflation-based.
"We have received people saying 'it's too cold in your pools', so you know there is a balance there because you still want people to use your facilities but we don't want to heat things more than we need to." Mr Mellen had a conversation with leisure service bosses at some point before the meeting, where a range of energy-saving measures had been put on the table, including lowering pool temperatures, but this was not acted upon.
