Consultation results show that 68% want pool to remain at the Quarry

The results of the consultation that Shropshire Council ran last year have shown that an overwhelming 68% of respondants want the pool to stay where it is in the Quarry.

Thank you all for your support - this is a fantastic result! The fight is far from over though - we can only hope and campaign now for the Council to take notice of what the people of Shrewbury want.
