View answerThe current round of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme was closed to new applicants on 31 July 2000. Since 2000, 58 projects have been or are being dealt with under the Programme of which 49 have been completed and the other 9 projects are at various stages of the Programme.
No decision has been taken on any new round of the Programme. My priority now is the completion of the projects in the existing Programme.
