Clissold Pool - Some Minor Problems

Bloody typical!

At a time when everyone should be celebrating our sporting successes in rugger and cricket, and with the BBC Sports Personality of the Year on TV this evening, the bloody swimmers are at it again with this piece of malicious nonsense: "If Only Hackney Hadn't Been A Negligent Client".

These chlorine-sniffing posers seem to think that we knew something about the problems of Clissold Pool months ago when, had we so chosen, we could have done something about it.

Let me make clear that none of us knew anything about design and build faults until relatively recently.

It was only in mid-2003 that councillors first saw a schedule of defects and we've all been a bit busy since then. In any case, I'm sure most of the faults have been fixed by now and some of them are probably the same thing written down twice anyway.
