WORK has already begun to close Temple Cowley Pools.

Oxford City Council workers are on site this morning and have put up metal barriers. 

The pool closed, for what appears to be the last time yesterday after the council’s scrutiny committee confirmed it would be demolished.

The site will be sold to developers Catalyst Housing for £3.5m.

Campaign group Save Temple Cowley Pools said they would continue to fight the decision.
