I AM so pleased for Abingdon residents that the Vale of White Horse District Council has backed the opinion of more than 2,000 who campaigned to keep the “much-loved” outdoor pool open.

Compare this to Oxford City Council, which ignored petitions signed by more than 26,000 Cowley constituents who wanted to keep the Temple Cowley pool and gym facility going and were totally ignored. So much for democracy!
