Campaigners hoping to run a threatened swimming pool are taking their amended business plan to local councillors tomorrow night.

A draft plan to save Arundel Open Air Pool, drawn up by the Arundel and Downland Community Leisure Trust, was rejected in April.

It was opposed by several Arundel town councillors who said some parts were unrealistic.

Leisure committee members put forward points they wanted the Arundel and Downland Community Leisure Trust (ACT) to consider in their final plan.

Councillors said there was an over-reliance on season ticket sales and that campaigners were assuming the town council and Arun District Council would help with funding.

Leisure committee members are meeting to discuss the amended business plan and review the council's position with regard to the pool.

Councillors will be told the trust's request for revenue support from Arun District Council will be discussed at the next meeting of the two councils' joint liaison working party.

Councillors will also hear the trust's approach to surrounding communities for financial support is to be raised through the Downland Area Committee which brings together county, district, parish and town councils.

Trust chairman Ruth Kerslake said: "I think the biggest change we have made to the business plan is to alter the balance between season tickets and day tickets so there is less reliance on season tickets.

"I think we all felt that was fair until we can gauge exactly what the level of season tickets might be.

"I hope the main thing to come from tomorrow night's meeting will be an advance of discussions between our two groups."
