IMPROVEMENTS to Tavistock?s Meadowlands swimming pool could be in the pipeline. A meeting is to be held between the leisure officer of West Devon Borough Council and Leisure Connection, which runs Meadowlands, to set a timescale for action. It follows last week?s Times report in which regular users of the pool hit out at what they described as the ?appalling? state of the facility. They claimed there were dirty changing rooms, damaged lockers, showers that did not work properly and erratic water temperatures. Concerns passed to borough councillors by the Meadowlands Pool Users? Group also included hygiene and cleanliness, together with comments about cubicles, showers, draughts and the limited range of refreshments at the café. And writers of letters to the Times this week say they have complained about various issues at the pool and been promised words, but had received no action. Terry Beckett, the borough council?s leisure manager, said he had spoken to Leisure Connection about the complaints made in the article. A meeting scheduled for today (Thursday) would include discussions on ?a number of issues?. Mr Beckett said: ?I will particularly be raising some of the long-standing issues with them and hopefully we will establish a timescale for action.? A spokesperson for Leisure Connection said they did not wish to comment further at this stage.
