Tough luck if you try a local DC Leisure pool.

Q. What do many people like to do on a sunny Bank Holiday? A. Go for a dip at their local swimming pool.

Well, don't waste your time going to Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon or Melksham.

As a cost-cutting exercise, the DC Leisure facilities in west Wiltshire now shut on all Bank Holidays. Apart from the fact that Bank Holidays are the only time most people can have a weekday swim with friends and family, didn't the Conservatives at County Hall promise us 'No front-line cuts'?

So, get your cossies on, and cool off with a good soaking courtesy of your garden hose (before we get a hose pipe ban due to a water shortage)!!
