Plans for free admission to public swimming pools for the over-60s
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said that initially the Government will allocate £80 million to local authorities next year to waive charges for the over-60s, with a further £50 million for the upkeep of their pools.
What do you think… this a good idea or a waste of tax payers money?

A Waste , Female's are retierd at 60 and get consetions anyway , Plus if you can't afford a few quid to take a dip at that age they got the life wrong somewhere,
Spend it elsewhere , seems the councils have got exess money each year and need to get rid and most of the time it's wasted ,

Who’s going to benefit form this.. ? How much will someone over 60 save a week from this… £5 ..£8 the most?
I agree with you Dave waste of money. Id like to see it Free for maybe under 18s, then its somewhere for them to go and good to learn to swim and keep fit.
