ONCE again we have witnessed the poor decision by Labour councillors at the city council executive board meeting (Oxford Mail, May 22) to close Temple Cowley pools and leisure centre.
The councillors have completely ignored the concerns of residents in the area who elected them and more than 12,000 signatures.
There are still a number of unanswered questions, including why is the council pushing ahead to spend millions of pounds on a brand new pool in Blackbird Leys when it is far more cost effective to keep both pools and leisure centres open?
I hope city councillors will be challenged on this and it will only be a matter of time before we lose Temple Cowley Library as well.
